- I've got a faxed data sheet from ATI about the Ultra Pro and Plus, and the
- 1MB Pro is incapable of 1280x1024. The most it will do is 1024x768x256.
- I also called Gateway, and was told that a new RAMDAC was needed with the
- other memory, and that they didn't supply it. If you call ATI, please post
- how much the update costs or email me.
