|We are currently evaluating workstations, one of which is a Sparcstation
|1.  Eventually we may want to run X windows on the machine and we are
|concerned about a suitable configuration of hardware.

MIT's R4 server (watch comp.windows.x for announcements) runs quite nicely
on a 16meg SPARCstation 1 with a vanilla cg3 8-bit framebuffer.  We
haven't tried it on an 8meg system, but since the server's working set is
much smaller than R3, it should pretty usable.
