I just recently purchased a ATI VGA Wonder and a Goldstar Super
1440 monitor... The ATI VGA wonder comes with it's own microsoft
compatible port and 256K... I am currently looking for chips
to upgrade it to 512K...

As for the Goldstar monitor, it has excellent colors... Although
it's not as sharp as the NEC Multisync it's well worth the price
I paid for it ($395).... As soon as I get my 512K I will test
the 800 X 600 X 256... Supposedly the monitor can handle
800 X 600 though in a PCMagazine review it said it "strained"
at 800 X 600... I'll have to see for myself...

Hope this Helps
