I'm in a similar situation, indeed I plan to buy board and monitor for
the SOLE purpose of running X386.  I'd like at least 16", with 14"
barely acceptable, and about 1024x768 with 4+ colors/grays - I don't
need "highest resolution" because I do believe that X386 has no
builtin limits, and I CANNOT afford a 3000x2000 board&monitor and
up!-).  I believe keeping discussion in this area, rather than going
email, would be MUCH more appropriate, since I see SOOO many people
interested!  Any opinion/experiences?
