Honestly, I can make do with 256K of VRAM if I want colour. 8 bit on a 512 x 384 screen is fine for me. 512K is preferred so I can see 16 bit on the same screen (which I like because I like to use photos of my friends and I as backgrounds--I even dither them for my Plus).

I almost forgot about AOL...anyone remember the old days when you spent five minutes going to a forum because you had to wait for artwork to be added?
