- 800 * 600 * 3 * 60 * 1.21 = 104,544,000, that's a lot more than 86,000,000.
- This 24 bit screen size (and the others below) must be interlaced.
- Please don't quote maximum resolutions in interlace without quoting the
- maximum non-interlaced and making the distinction clear. 89Hz laced is
- fairly stable, but 60Hz is not, and is not very useful for anything but
- photographics.
