I had the same problem on my DualPentium 166 with
64Mb RAM and 128 Swap.....
Also I have a 4 Mb Diamond 3000 (VirgeVX Chipset) so
I have used X server running 24bpp mode...
I had problems I could describe here if I may:
Under linux emulation I couldnt run 
Problem			Solution

Staroffice 3.1 		Change X server to 16bpp mode
Desc:
It simply hangs (seems like out of swap memory!!! but It doesn't)

PixMap			Change X server to 16bpp mode
Desc:
When you try to start it as root it hangs!
When it starts from user shell it writes Couldn't calloc.

Any other problems?
Hope it helps
