Obtain the list of chip sets for the IBM version of scitech software 
drivers.  Look at cards costing upto $50  or so.  Look for a min of  4 
Megs onboard ram.  (1024*768*4bytes per pixel =  barely over 3 megs and 
that will give you 32 bits per pixel.)  In short, nearly any of what 
today is condidered OLD name brand video card will work fine.  Cards 
today are WAY past your requirements.  If you want speed, see if there 
is a list of  chips the scitech drivers will hardware accelerate.  Heck 
ask a friend if they have an old freebe lying around that you can have.  
You only need about 2 meg to do 16 bits at that resolution.  eCS comes 
with scitech drivers and they can definately handle that resolution and 
support an amazing variety of chips
