I recently brought up SCO-ODT on a 386SX (from PC-Brand; 4MB RAM, 
no FP, 16MHz sx, 80MB ST-506 disk).  Didn't install X or ODT-DATA, but
everything else seemed to work pretty good, though I haven't done
anything to rough with it.  It is appreciably slower than the old
16-MHz 386DX machine we have in the lab running ODT, but not unusable;
I rather suspect, though, that running X would be a different story.

All in all, I would say that the SX would be a pretty cost effective
box for people who need Unix, are running without X and not doing 
development.
