3.9MB is enough to hold 1280*1024*3 (24 bits = 3 bytes).


However, almost every graphics implementation puts those 3 bytes into a 4
byte pixel. There are a few cards out there that can do a packed 24-bit
mode - I don't want to think about programming it.

All VMS graphics that do 24-bits use a 32-bit pixel size. The extra byte is
generally there for special things - depending on the HW - like an Alpha
value.
