We use 12MHz 286's and 16MHz 386SX's for X servers, and they work pretty well,
so I disagree about requiring a 20MHz DX.  2MB of memory is probably the right
figure, though, and a 4.77MHz 8088 (real XT) is hard to fathom for this 
purpose.

Of course, this is getting fairly far afield from this group...
