The standard AmigaDOS "Productivity Mode" screen resolution was never used
very much, because it slows the machine down when used with too many colors.

What's wrong with overscanned NTSC?

Running X with 8 mb of RAM is generally considered to be "slow". I typically
hear people on the net say that 16mb is the minimum to get reasonable 
performance from X. I personally think 12mb is OK.
