NeXTSTEP 3.1 ran fine at 1152x832 4 shade mono with 20MB of RAM. 32MB if you were running color.

It was also rendering Display PostScript on a 25Mhz '040. One of the first machines in its day that allowed you to drag full windows, rather than frames on the desktop. High tech in action!



You could also do that in '92-ish on RISC OS 3 running on a 1MB Acorn Archimedes with 12MHz ARM2 processor, with high quality font antialiasing. Those were the days!
