Oops.  I think you've been misinformed somewhere down the line.  The IIsi
ships with *8-bit* color, not 32-bit color.  Therefore, it can only display
256 colors on a 13" monitor, as opposed to the 307,200 colors possible 
with a 24-bit card.  Therefore, a 24-bit color card is still a very
reasonable option for a IIsi owner.
