Er, check your math.  768KB is required for 1024x768 at 8-bit, 1536KB
is required for 1024x768 at 15/16-bit.

And yes, I had the same video card.  I upgraded to a VLB 2MB
ET4000w32i in 1994 and got to 1024x768 at 16-bit.

Web site defacements are as much of a national security risk as
inner city kids spray painting.  There is nothing of value, and
nothing that can't be fixed with a little re-paint.  You'd have
to have the equivalent stupidity of someone parking an F-18 in
downtown LA.  Even then, the only damage would be a new scheme!
The US government wants life imprisonment for such "terrorism."
