This may seem like a strange question, and it is
relatively off topic...But I run a 4MB 2d only video
card in my FreeBSD machine, and even if I ran X, I
wouldn't need more. I maybe losing your context with
my prejudice that FreeBSD is, in general, used as a
server machine and not a user machine... If you were
to want a user machine, I would suggest Slackware
Linux over FreeBSD.
