Hi, I have a question about the VGA monitor specifications.
My VGA monitor is 256K VRAM VGA card with a .31mm VGA monitor.
The max res is 640 X 480. The problem came after I upgrade the RAM on video
board to 512K and I cannot figure the monitor at 640 X 480 X 256.
I posted a question about this befor. From one of the replies, it seems that
for 640 X 480 X 256 it requires a multi-sync monitor as the Horiz/Vert
scanning require is lower than the normal one for VGA. Is it true?
I have read the monitor manual many times, it is supposed to be able to handle
60/70Hz and 31.5-37.5kHz.
Thx
