I agree on the multisync although I have a Genoa level 5 CGA/EGA/PCA/VGA
card.  The Genoa does just about everything including Hercules mono-graphics.
Its a half length card with 256Kb standard.  If you get one be sure to 
specify "level 5" as there is also a "level 3" that does not support the 
800 X 600 resolution.  If you don't need the 800 X 600, there are some Genoa
level 3 clones out for very good prices.  I can't be sure but I think the 
clones go for about $150.  The real Genoa also comes with drivers and a
real slick mode change program.

Yesterday I saw a glossy on a new NEC Multisync display adapter.  It 
supposedly has up to 1024 X 912 (or some such) resolution on a Multisync
Plus monitor.
