Just one hour ago I upgraded a DX2/66 from 8 meg to 16 and can say the
performance increase with X and Netscape is simply amazing, like 10
to 20 times faster. I don't know how this compares to "real workstations"
but to anyone with only 8 meg running X, sell an arm and a leg... I did
and it is worth it. Subjectively, windows refreshes are now every bit as
snappy as Win95, even Win31, on the same machine.
