Sorry about the naive questions.

I got a XT/10mhz with a HGC and a mono monitor.  Recently, I want to
update it to colorful.  The motivation is to play some game in color
instead of the dumb mono screen.  I am wondering:

1. Is there any VGA card fit to an XT?
2. What is the most feasible resolution for playing game?
3. I got an EGA card from my friend.  But the price of an EGA monitor
   is not lower than VGA too much.  Is is a good deal to get a new VGA
   card and VGA monitor?
4. How's the Multisynch monitors?  I assume that fits to both cards
   but with a higher cost.
5. In the long run, I might buy another 386 machine to do jobs in home,
   although not CAD works.  Is a Super VGA necessary?

Thanks in advance.

Jack
