What are the standard graphics resolutions and colors on the GS? Not with 
doing special programming or anything.

(I'm asking cause on my ST it standard to have 16 colors in 320X200 mode, 
but you can get 512 colors on the screen at a time, but this is only useful 
for looking at pictures, it requires to much CPU to make it useful for 
anything else.)
