..I run 1152x864x16 on my 2MB ati card and an embedded 
Cirrus Logic GD 5480 (rev 23), and 1024x768x16 on an 
Cirrus Logic GD 5465 [Laguna] (rev 03), it runs out of vram.

..you wanna stay at 16, possibly 15 bit color, and hike up your
resolution until it flickers.  With 800x600 you oughtta get 24 bit 
working.

..I run my ati 3D Rage IIC AGP (rev 7a) at 1600x1200x24bit, is as far as
I can push it until someone advices me how I gun up the card from 162MHz
to 230MHz. And 1600x1200 I guess is too far for accellerated graphics.
