Most of those cards will do 24bit at 640×480 (1M SVGA). A 2M card (they start
at less than $300) will do 24bit at 800×600, 16bit at 1024×768 and 8bit at
1280×1024. Our ATI Ultra Pro 2M Accelerated local bus card was something like
$450.
BTW I would wait on looking at the Alpha. NT is going to be ported to the
PowerPC which should be price competitive with the Pentium and somewhat faster.
Assuming Impulse writes an NT version it'll be a real toss-up as to what to
get. Whatever happens the current version will only work on Intel chips.
