Please! 320x200 is not nearly enough. In my game I support 320x200 (which
is nearly useless due to lack of resolution), 320x400 (passable when using
antialiasing, but not great) and 800x600 (great). I would like the last
one to be a new standard. I think 256 simultaneous colors from a palette
of 16.7 million is usually enough.

Just my opinions...
