This is not true. 16 MBs is more than enough memory to support the  
native resolution of the monitor in question. As I said in my other  
post this is most likely a lack of digital bandwidth.

Quoting from a Mac OS X Hints discussion:

1600 x 1200 x 32 / 8 = 7,680,000 (number of bytes necessary at  
"millions" of colors bit depth)
So, 1600 x 1200 at millions of color is possible with only 8 MB.
