[K12OSN] 8 GB RAM on 32-bit Edubuntu with AMD 64 processors

Yay, I look forward to hearing the outcome.

Usually at another location(high school this time) if I get 20 clients 
concurrent using FireFox and flashy stock report/trading sites(for 
example, yeah they use in econ class)...with a SINGLE GiG NIC network 
degradation happens quickly, normal application use(OpenOffice and the 
like is just fine with double that amount of concurrent users)
