Yes, generally the network traffic and the client VRAM requirements  
are based on the number of pixels times the color depth. 1600x1200 is  
four times more pixels than 800x600, and going from 16 to 32 bits of  
color would also probably have the same impact. Since X is fairly low  
level (IIRC), increases in either pixels or color depth will have a  
relatively proportional impact on the LAN traffic.  Feel free to  
correct me if I have anything wrong here.
