- The stuff that comes with IBM's XGA-2 says the card will do 1280x1024
- interlaced at a frame rate of 50 Hz and a line rate of 53.4 KHz. I
- think it's only 16 colors at that resolution (only 1 MB of VRAM), and
- it doesn't look like it would drive the monitor you have, but maybe
- one of the new clone XGA cards extends the specs enough for you. XGA
- sure is cheap for the performance and support you get.
