I'm using Video7's 1024i in 800x600 mode, running in 8 bit bus mode,
and it's fast.  The 1024x768 caused too much flicker for me.  I did
have a remark: how many colors in the ATI 1024x768 mode?  The 1024i
will do 1024x769 in either 2 or 4 colors.  I recall ATI sqeezing out
mode colors in lower res modes, perhaps they give more than 4 colors.
Oh: I just checked and my board has a driver for 1024x768, 16 colors
with 512K (that's only 8 colors the screwy was win/2.x works).
So make sure you mention how many bit planes the driver's pushing around
before you talk speed.
p.s. I did run in 640x480x256 color mode for one day.  It took forever to
do anything, and I kept running out of memory because bitmaps took up so
much room.
