From what I understand it uses TI's graphics co-processor (TI34010 or something
like that).  These co-processor chips increase the boards throughput, sort
of like a math co-processor on a PC.

You can put up to 3MB of memory on the board, which will give you true color.
Should be pretty impressive if a driver for windows is avaiable.

The Hurcules board appears to be the cheapest on the mark.
