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 Mac video board/monitor and CPU will cut it, assuming I'm running AUX? Assume 8Mb or more RAM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Smyth david@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov Senior Software Engineer, seismo!cit-vax!jpl-devvax!david X and Object Guru.
