- Yep, you're right. VGA max is 640 x 480 x 16 colors, so SVGA would
- start at 640 x 480 x 256 colors. Actually VGA is limited to 256 colors
- so you could say that even 320 x 200 x >256 colors is where SVGA starts.

- Don't forget multi-tasking. With my Amiga 2500 I can browse the web,
- FTP a file, unarc the previous file and play a game, all at the same
- time and all while I'm backing up my hard disk to tape.

- My 75 Mhz Pentium has about all it can do just to run netscape
- without crashing.
