| 60149 | 2002-07-05 20:47:00 | Which is best - High Colour 16 bit or True Colour 32 bit. Whats the difference ????????? Running Win 98, Geforce2 mx/mx400 Graphics, Pentium 4 1600 - all standard setups - no tweaks. |

| 60150 | 2002-07-05 21:18:00 | Hi. The diffs is the potential max number of colours that will be displayed - True is best, but normally you won't notice the difference. | Greg S (201) | ||
| 60151 | 2002-07-05 21:26:00 | The difference is colour depth. 16bit is 65,536 colours vs 24bit 16,777,216 colours - 24bit has better colour definition in other words. 24 bit takes up approximately twice the adapter memory but is negligible by todays standards - about 1MB 16bit vs 2MB 24bit on 800x600 res or 2MB vs 4MB on 1024x768. The higher the resolution+colour depth the more resources taken. | parry (27) | ||

| 60153 | 2002-07-06 23:25:00 | Hi All - Thanks for your replys - got the idea Another point Tweak'e said - FPS - how can I tell my FPS or is this a stupid question. |

| 60154 | 2002-07-06 23:48:00 | it depends on what games you play. or you can run various bench marks such quake3 3dmarks etc. therer is a tool called FRAPS which can tell you the fps in a lot of games. |
