Yes, but I was told it was the Voodoo card's fault. It makes sense
since the one we tested on only had that resolution.

It's been a *LONG* time since I had one of those - but I recollect
that the only way to get up to 800x600 was to not have a Z buffer
or not do double-buffering or something heinous like that.

There is also the option of connecting two cards together in one
machine to get higher resolution.

But with just one card and the bare essentials of life like a Z
buffer, I'm pretty sure 640x480 is the best it can manage.
