660 is 1Kx2Kx8bits (assuming you have both memory cards).  1Kx1Kx8 visable,
8 -> 24 bit color map (eight bits each for red, green and blue).
Supports BitBlt and Zoom, well enough to do short real time movies.
It also has an "imaging mode" that supports 512x512x24bits.  

Actually, these are about the best frame buffers Apollo makes (if they
still make them?).  Newer ones have been crippled to make them cheaper.
The 550 and 660E displays are the same except fewer pixels are visable
in the vertical direction.
