I've got some half-dozen cg6s. Only one (a third-party clone) goes
above 1152x900, but a few of the others do have resolution words (for
1024x768 and I think others in some cases).
I guess I was too optimistic in assuming that if it advertised a given
resolution word it would do something at least vaguely sensible if I
used it. (A 4M cg14 on the SS20 at 1280x1024 doesn't work, of course,
but it doesn't wedge the machine; it just double-maps what RAM it has.)
I suppose I should ring up MemoryX and see about getting myself one -
or two, more likely, one for each machine, to save on shipping.
