Absolutely.. Opera Web-browser was initially developed at 1280x1024

That one have we made ourself.
I belive I saw something on www.neutralzone.org/home/faqsys though.

right now, displaying images goes fairly fast if you hack a little. I had to
research
a little on unusual solutions when I needed to display images on the 8-bit
screeen
without knowing the palette. I think it looks really nice now though =)
What you need for a highspeed video-stream to work is
a) double buffering to avoid flicker
b) bitblit to make it go speedy.
as far as I know, these two API calls are available really soon
What speed you get, Greg is the only one that know I think.
