640x400x256 is just under 256K.  With suitable bandwidth
and an accellerator this could work in double-buffered stereo.
Text would work here.

640x400x64K is just under 512K.  This will work double-buffered.
I'm seeing 2meg dumb VGA cards for around $200.  This would
work in stereo double-buffered.

I think it's possible to store 7- or 8-bit color values
in a 32-bit word, doing addition on all three values at once.
This makes texture-mapping and smooth shading vaguely possible.
Say, on an Alpha.
