Well, you could go to a dealer and ask...

B0270LL/A  A/UX CD-ROM Product	$795.00
(in USA)

It depends upon what you mean by "work comfortably."  Like most of these
statements, it depends upon what you're doing.  80Mb is cramped for
program development.  If you add X11R4, you need about 100 Mb to feel
good.  Many people use more space than that; some use less.

A large screen monitor makes *anything* better. :-)
