i was going by the specs you published (512KB video memory - that won't
even get you to 1024x768x8), but it's clearly better than that from the
little info on the web page.

i've nothing against it in principle, i'd love to replace this hot and
noisy pc under my desk with something that does only the things i need -
100base-t and a display. but if the display is limited to 1024x768
or less then i'm better off using my laptop.
