Good card.  Drivers are getting better, they were lame for a while.

1280x1024 is pushing it.  1280x1024x16 48Hz Interlaced.
1024x768 is MUCH better.  1024x768x256 70Hz

The ATI Ultras are probally faster, but I've not played with them.
Look into the #9 cards if you REALLY need 1280x1024 mode.  My guess is that
you actually don't.
