  Nope, sorry to disagree, but the IPX definitely has a better onboard
framebuffer than the Classic.  It's the LX (nearly identical to the classic)
that has an even better framebuffer...a cg6 with a SIMM slot for vram expansion
that can take it to 1280x1024 on compatible monitors.  The classic, however,
has a cg3...same resolution & depth, same sync rates, same connector...just no
graphics acceleration processor.
