Most unix machines didn't have any sort of graphics at all in the '70s, 
technically. I never saw a unix machine that didn't need hardware paging 
support for VM. I think the old PDPs didn't, but they were, when you got 
right down to it, really almost single-user machines - every time you 
ran a compute quantum, it had to be swapped in.

Certainly a sparcstation with 4MB of RAM was unusable for X11.
