Hi,

	X will cost me about 4Mb ram, right ?
	So what is the best choice of adding memory if I want to use X?
	Is that 8MB is the minimum config? Or X will run happily in the
8MB DRAM?
	I have an VLB 486 DX33 machine which support the following
memory config : -

	(1) Add another 4MB, so total 8MB.
	(2) Add another 16MB, so total is either 16MB or 20MB.

	The ram price ,here in Hong Kong, is around HKD$1600 4MB, ie
around USD$200 4MB. I have to choose between purchasing another 4MB or
16MB. Can any BSDers tell me which one will be better and more
economical?

Rgds,

Benson
