>> will i only get 16-bit color in both 2D & 3D modes? Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think the limitation is only for the games (i.e. 3D mode); your wall paper should still be in 32 bits. >> does 16-bit mean "thousands" of colors, where as 32-bit means "millions" of colors? 16 bit means 64 thousand colours whereas 32 bit [surprisingly] means 16 million colours. >> what about glide vs. D3D? It has no bearing on the quality of the graphics. The games should look the same. On another note, do we have anyone here with a contact in Taiwan? This is the week of Computex (OEM motherboard trade show). I'd be curious as to how 3dfx and nVidia fare over there. Sun Tzu
