I have an ATI VGA wonder with 512K and ISC X release 1.2 -
this combination supports 800x600 with 256 colors just fine -
except screen IO isn't real fast. If I had $1000 to spend,
I would get one of the video graphics engines - like maybe
the NEC - which would make the screen IO fly - but then I would
want to spend another $1500 to get a nice 20 inch monitor --
one thing leads to another - hmmm..
