32 Mb is enough to launch Quake 3, MDK2, Tiberian Sun, etc.

Quake3 on a DX4? What am I missing here?

I don't know and I could be wrong...but I'm guessing you are missing out on a new miserable experience.

2-3x too much. Realistically there is nothing you could do on a 486 that would require, or even run slower than normal with 12-16MB ram.

16mb is probably the sweet spot for running win 3.11 20mb would be confortable.

Having more then 16Mb causes some Software no longer working on Windows 3.x

If you run Windows 95 go for 32Megs.
