For displaying at 1152x864x16 a 2MB video card appears to work fine. But
until I try this in something alot faster than
a P 90--despite the fact that this machine has almost 100 MB of RAM--I won't
be able to judge to what extent it might
be the source of the slow response I'm getting from magicpoint. Bottom line
seems to be that if you want to display at
that resolution, you're going to want to use nothing less than a P2 or
equivalent.
