Yes, but only if I dont use ARM7500.

I'ts already set at its maximum for the ARM7500 I am using. I cant use 
the StrongARm processor: it wont do 2560 x 1600 x 24bit colour. and I 
dont want to use fewer colours, or lesser pixies (that would be a 
waste of a very expensive monitor).

And 256MB is still nothing like 500MB or 1GB...

[I don't use Impression either]
