- 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.
