[comp.windows.x] PC running X and UNIX - What works?

david@jpl-devvax.JPL.NASA.GOV (David E. Smyth) (02/20/91)

Let's say I'm just BARELY satisfied with the performance
of X11R4 running on a SPARCstation 1+ with 8 bit color,
or completely satisfied with the performance of X11R4
running on a Monochrome 33MHz 68030 Sun (a 3/460).

What megapixel or better resolution PC video board/monitor
and CPU will cut it, assuming I'm running SCO SVR3 or
(more likely) Interactive SVR4?  Assume 8Mb or more of RAM.

And what about the same question, but using AUX on some Mac?
