        I recently purchased a Genoa VGA card for 1024X768 graphics,
        I was asked if I wanted 16 or 8 bit type card, I was told
        16 was faster, so I chose it.  I received the more expensive
        16 bit card today (or did I) and it fits in my XT. As a 
        matter of fact I am using it now.  I was under the impression
        16 bit cards don't fit in XTs.  Do I have an 8 bit card?

                       Thanx for any help and advice.
