*The onboard video can support 512x384
832x624 at 8-bit
1152x870 at 4-bit
--- With 2 MB of VRAM installed, it can support up to 832x624 at 24-bit and 1152x870 at 8-bit.
So does this mean that you can get 1152x870x256 with only 512k Vram(stock ammount) in the Q700? if so that is kind of inpressive.

Oops, 4bit is only 16 colors.  but that is still a large chunk of screen real-estate with only 512k ram.

But you said that you added (2) 256k simms, to give you a total one 1meg of vram.

and that gets you 1152x864@256

thats not too shabby for only one meg of vram.

and you said with 4 simms in there, gave you no change.

well that is probably because of you are at the colors limit of that resolution anyways. adding all 6 simms, just gives you a little more real-estate but still only @ 256 colors.
