Yes,
	There is a limitation which prevents the Amiga from sending 640x400
non-interlaced to a monitor which can display at that resolution. I was
at a lecture at Stanford yesterday which was given by Jay Miner. He said
that it wasn't possible. I'm not hardware oriented but it seems to me
that this is due to limited bandwidth. Displaying non-interlaced 640x400
would require moving twice as much data to the screen every 60th of a
second.
