 To display 256 colors at 1024x768 you need 1 Meg of memory in your video
card, not to mention a monitor that can handle that resolution. With 512K
you will only get 16 colors at 1024x768, (only 4 colors with 256k). Now, you
would think that 512K would get you 256 colors at 800x600 resolution, but
not many cards can do that. The only one I know of that'll do it is the
ATI VGAWonder+ (Check the new PC Sources magazine for info on SVGA cards).
