Hmm. Our NCD has 3.5M of memory, and it seems to work just fine.
I wouldn't think that a meg of memory would make that much
difference, but one never knows. If you do a lot of bitmaps, I
bet that makes the NCD sweat a bit.
We also use our old 4M Sun 3/50s as X terminals, and they work
great (we use the Columbia Xkernel code which runs just enough
Unix on the 3/50 to make X work and use xdm to a Sparcstation
where Slate actually runs).
