If you can say more about the contents of your disk (wrt what partitions 
are occuied and what are not), I can prob'ly give you a more helpful 
comment :-)

Honestly, 64 MB will make your system crawl. Just out of curiosity, what 
versions of linux/windows are you running on your box? I have a similar 
box at home, but with a Cyrix 233 MHz processor. That is strictly used 
as a programming hangout. No multimedia, no games, no decent X, no ..., 
no ..., no ...

Anyways, the point is that the newer OSes are memory hogs. You will 
simply not get away with that much RAM. Seriously, better ways would be 
to upgrade your RAM first.
