How many ways can you say fast! I've had an RX for a few months and 
thoroughly enjoy it.

The RX comes with 2Mb on the motherboard and has 2 SIMM sockets that will
hold 1, 2, 4, or 8Mb SIMMs. If you occupy both sockets, the SIMMS must be
the same size. I would recommend at least 4Mb of memory, more if you can
afford it. You might consider filling one SIMM socket with a 4Mb SIMM and
then buying another one later.

The X-server runs in the X-terminal. Clients can be anywhere on the net.

I personally like the bigger monitor since text is larger without sacrificing
screen real estate...
