It isn't. The best you can get on a 2M card is 1152x864. Note that this
isn't much worse than 1280x1024 since with 1280x1024 your aspect ratio is
all messed up (i.e. your circles look like ovals and your squares are
rectangular). If you go to 8bpp, you can get much higher resolutions.
(but finding monitors to handle them is much trickier).
BTW, it does not matter whether it is interlaced or not. Refresh rate and
interlacedness are determined by the monitor, in relation to its
capability and the resolution you have selected. Resolution vs. color
depth on the other hand is determined by the amount of RAM on your card.
