I have a 25mh 386/387 clone (DTK) with 4M Ram. I currently run a
clone Hercules graphics card with a cheap mono monitor. I would like
to upgrade to take advantage of VGA now but I want to make sure I
can take advantage of any new standard (eg SuperVGA) when such
becomes a standard. I do statistical work, so my graphic needs are
not so intense as a CAD application. (In fact my herc solution works
okay, it is just that so many of my new programs really don't like
herc very much.)

In any event, I am looking for recommendations for a card/monitor
that is both cost effective now but will not limit me to VGA when
something better becomes common.

Thanks in advance
