- As my knowledge,
- SVGA means, a gfx board which have more than 512 KB video memory.
- Below and equal to 512K, you may have 640x480 and 16 colors,
- above 512K you may have 800x600 256 colors...
-
- with 2 MB Amiga AGA, you may have 800x600 256 colors (or HAM8) but
- flickery, but at least you can have 640x512 or (720x564 dblpal) 256
- colors stable screens which can be comparable with SVGA.
