  I have a Trident chip in my Hedaka, and it runs 1024x768, 800x600, and
640x480x256 as specified. *However*, you need to add memory to the board
to get the higher resolutions, so add about $32 to the price.

  This chipset is supported by fractint and vpic, two of the programs I
use in hi-res modes.
