Yes, the ATI card can do 800x600 (which I run) and 1024x768(which I have run but find too small).  You can get the correct drivers from ATI (sorry, I lost the number).  They are in Canada, and if you leave your name and address, you'll have them in 2 weeks. 

Windows loads ega.sys because it doesn't come with the correct drivers for the ATI card.  When installing, have a floppy with the proper drivers ready, and use those, or install standard VGA and then run setup to change the mode.

Note: I am running the 16 color driver, not the rumored *slow* 256 color.
