- My understanding is that the Quadra built-in video will support 3 sizes
- 640x480 = 14"
- 832x624 = 16"
- 1152x864 = 21"
- I assume that by 19" that you want to run in 1024x768 mode, but the quadra's
- video won't let you do that because Apple does make any 19" monitors...

- p.s. But perhaps your SuperMac will run at 1152x864?
-
- And adding more vram just means more colours. Even 512k should let you
- run in 1152x864 mode, althought perhaps only monochrome (the math works out to
- 4 bit colour).
