 My thoughts are that you can get a great video card these days for around
$30.   I just left the world of 8 bit color myself,  I really don't miss those~
falshing screens as you move the pointer.  I have never seen a monitor that~
limited the number of colors,  but it will probably limit your resolution.
My 8511 PS/2 monitors will only to 640x480,  but they'll do it in 16 bit
color (of course I don't actually use these things anymore).  An 8513 should
do at least 1024x768,  and 8514 is a strange beast and I'd rather not
comment.  But go with a LOW refresh rate on these old birds.
