Is anybody out there using VAXstation II's with the GPX option?
My group is interested in getting one, and we'd like to hear about
the problems and/or successes people are having with them.  In
particular,

	1) Is it worth getting a color system?  If so, is it also
	   worth getting the "enhanced" color system instead of the
	   "basic" system?

	2) Have VAXstation-II/GPX's been shipped with VMS instead of
	   Ultrix?  We have uses for both operating systems.

	3) (This should really be #1...) Is it worth getting the GPX
	   option at all?  Does it enhance performance enough to
	   justify the $$ to buy it?

	4) Any suggestions on optimal memory configuration?  Is 3
	   megabytes enough memory to take advantage of the extended
	   display capability?

Thanks for the help,
