 ASSP> 1. is there really a low resolution mode in CGA ?
 ASSP> 160 x 200 x 16 color GPHIC mode (not tweaked text mode..)

    So I've heard but I've never been able to find info on it
    either.

 ASSP> 2. is there a generic way of addressing more than 512K for 
 ASSP> most VGA cards (assuming of course the card has that much memory on
 ASSP> it) 

    NO!  Thier is not unless you use VESA.  a 64k segment is the
    limit.

 ASSP> 3.has any1 tweaked a 512 x 512 mode for most vga cards ?

    Not that I've heard of.
