I think I must have been missing something about the color depth.  I
thought with 4MB video memory you could run 1280x1024x24, albeit at 60 Hz.
Mayby this is why my highest resolution mode looks so bad, with blurred
screen and window edges and slanted text.

I understoon that the color depth didn't have anything to do with the
refresh rate.  Perhaps I understood wrongly?
