Just a nit pick.  8MB is what you need.  12 or 16 meg is better, but not
mandatory.  We have several systems which run with NFS, X, TCP/IP, SDS, 
etc and have no problems running X with 8 or 10 clients on 8MB.

Of course, you can get an extra 4 MB for around $200 these days which
makes the decisions easier.
