- I would like to know if the ATI driver supports 1024x768x16 colours.
- My ATI VGAWonder+ has its max of 512K RAM and that limits me to 16
- colours at this resolution. My monitor will NOT run at 800x600 with
- this video card, either, so the choice is 1024x767 or 640x480, and I
- HATE 640x480.
-
- Anyone with experience with the new driver - please let me know.
-
- Thanks in advance....
