The RT's in the fishbowl really have to be upgraded to 8 meg.

First of all, the reason why this is being sent to bugs is that a 4Mb
RT really cannot support this release.  

System name:		M11-113-2	
Type and version:	MVAX-II 7.0F  <<--- you can ignore this stuff
Display type:		PLX

What's wrong:
The RT's in the video cluster are still 4Mb.  This configuration
cannot support the current release.  They should be upgraded to at
least 8Mb.  This has been reported to hotline (and probably
elsewhere), but nothing has been done about this.

(BTW, the vaxen aren't much better!!  I still can't get more than 3
windows up...)

What should have happened:
The RT's should be upgraded to 8Mb

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I believe there's some documentation somewhere saying that all the
RT's have been upgraded, when in fact, this is not the case.

If this should be sent elsewhere, then please forward it to the proper
places.

Thank you.
