I am aware that the poster claimed no responsibility for
misinformation, and I don't mean to be picky, but as I'm not quite
sure myself, I'd like to ask if the above info (16bit memory) is
correct?

>palette(colors)          65,536              16.8 million
>maximum displayed        65,536(640x400)     256,000(all res)

Same goes for here, the palette is 262???, right? And if you use
overscan (can you do that together with truecolor?) then you'd get a
bit higher resolution? BTW, can you use a Multisynch monitor with the
Falcon, and is it possible to overscan with it? Are all the TV + all
the VGA resolutions available with a Multisynch?
