On the contrary mike I think you'll find quite  a few people with a similar
setup.... yep the colour card (standard, not gold) is able to support a much
greater no. of colours and screen resolutions for the A5000, the best from a
standard colour card would probably be 800 x 600 (8bit) ie. 256 colours. IIRC
this is mode 103 for this card !!! hope this helps !!!
