Well, there's some good news and some bad news (and that means something
more when you're talking about Sun's OS :-) about X Windows on the Mac.

The bad news is that there's no such thing as an "X Windows card." 
Sorry.

The good news is that you don't need one.  With an ethernet connection
to an X client, all you need is X server software for the Mac (made by
Apple [MacX] or White Pine [eXodus]) to run happy, healthy X
applications.

Call your Apple dealer; they should have product info for MacX, as it
was part of the big N&C rollout they had this past summer.
