Normal screen resolutions have a 4:3 proportion. 1152x864 is a normal
resolution, just like 800x600 and 640x480. All of those are 4:3.
The resolution you suggest (1280x768) is a wide-screen resolution with
5:3 proportions. I've never seen a display with those proportions, but
if you actually have a screen that will display such a resolution then
yes, a 4MB display should be able to drive that resolution with at least
16-bit color.
