I know that you can get some good 16bit basic vga cards.  One local
dealer sells a DFI-3000 VGA card for $130.  It is an 16/8 bit video
card has 256k video ram with no upgrade options.  It will do
800*600*16, 640*480*16 and the standard vga modes.  This card
also works with all monitors, i.e. cga,ega,hercules, and vga.

Hope this helps.

Bryan.
