1.	What software takes advantage of the RAMDAC
	chip in the ATI UP? If I buy it, how do I benefit 
	from it? 

2.	Also, when I am in 640x480 64K color mode,
	windows reports the number of device colors
	as 4096, not 64K. Any ideas why? Is it right to 
	say that the windows drivers don't support use
	of all the colors that the hardware allows?
		
3.	Also, how can I get information about programming 
	the graphics card directly? I know this is 
	probably a good way to screw up my monitor, but
	I would like to know about it anyway.
