Just what I wanted to do!
I got sick of Netscape stealing all the available
colours and preventing RealAudio 3.0 from running.
I ended up getting an ExpertColor S3 Virge with 4MB
of RAM on board. As I'm BUS overclocking my ASUS
motherboard to 83Mhz I was very pleased with the result.

16bit (64K colours) at 1600x1200 virtual screen size
24bit (16.7 Million colours) at 1280x1024
That good enough? 8-)
Cheap as well. $AU90.00
