I'm considering buying a Sony-1304 monitor and either a Diamond
SpeedSTAR 1meg video card or an Orchid Prodesigner II.

My primary concern is running Windows non-interlaced at a high
resolution.

I've heard that either of these hardware combos will run Win at
1024x768 non-interlaced, but could someone fill me in on how many
colors I can get?  I assume 16 will work, but don't know about 256(?).

Also I've heard that 70hz operation is better than 60hz.  What can
I expect from this hardware combo? 70hz x 1024 x 768 x 256 ?  Would
I have to spend alot more money to get that?    

I'm really just trying to get maximum bang for my buck on a new video
system for Windows.  Thanks for ANY suggestions.
