I have found that 8 megs memory is enough to bring X up with an xterm and that is about it without swapping. Putting another 4 megs of ram in helps a lot and 16 megs makes it the fastest x86 based X system I have seen. This is not bad, as my sysvr4 system will barely run all by itself with 8 megs, and even with 16 megs, it swaps all over the place with X. -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds!
