I have a Princeton PSC-28 VGA color monitor (fixed frequency).  I also
have a Paradise 16/Plus 256K card.  Now, the card will go as high as
640x400x256 colors and the monitor can handle this mode just fine.
Now, I can't afford to switch my monitor AND my card, so what I would
like to do is upgrade my video card to something like an ET4000 1MB
card.  I know that I my monitor will not exceed 640x480, but will I
be able to do 640x480x256 colors?  Then LATER I can get a new monitor.
