Yeah, I'd definitely go for as much memory as you can. Fifty bucks is cheap, considering, and it's not like having more is any kind of problem (unless you want to run an old DOS game, but that's what VirtualBox is for.)
There are probably any number of students on your campus who might like an older computer. I myself keep cannibalizing things to play with, and I don't really understand how the things work at all, so in the computer science department there's probably interest.
I'm proud to say my 286e Supersport laptop (which weighed 15 pounds) is now on display in Pembroke's computer department, after they saw it and asked if they could have it. Apparently they'd never seen a laptop that heavy before.
