Well, first, lets list the hardware, then there will be a base to work from.
AMD K5 PR166 processor
Generic motherboard, soon to be an ASUS P55T2P4 Rev3.10
64 MB RAM EDO
Microsoft BussMouse with the Intel Inport card (ISA)
DTC 3130 SCSI-2 controller
SB 16 MCD audio card
Matrox Millennium 4 Mb video w/WRAM
Thats enough pertinent data I think, the rest is fluff and drives.

I have it set for the standard 640 x 480 16 color. Is that patch I saw for 
256 color the one I need to make the leap?

Only one way to find out, tell me how you set up for 256 color and I'll give 
it a whirl.
Adios for now,
