EGA/VGA--no difference
SVGA--72 Hz at 800x600 and 60 Hz at 1024x768.  If you are planning
     on using these two higher resolutions, go with the non-
     interlaced because there is less flicker.  (I don't know
     what the refresh rate of the old monitor was, and neither
     did the tech rep at Gateway when I asked him.)

The non-interlaced is standard, and you only save $50 if you
go with the old monitor.  Since they are somewhat backordered on
their new monitors, you can get the old one and have $50 taken
off the price, or get a free 200 baud modem, or get a free upgrade
to DOS 5.0 when it comes out (pick one of these three options).
