- I've got an XGA-2 in a 70-E61 with an 8513 display. It works fine in
- 640x480x65536 or 640x480x256. I also tried it once with an 8514
- display, and got 1024x768x256 with no trouble. I use GA+SP, but I've
- also tested it successfully with the Oct and Nov beta CD versions. My
- machine has 3rd-party memory and SCSI cards, too.
