[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 932966, member: 56379"] I'm not sure where you are getting all of this inaccurate information...but: - 6 bit color is 64 colors - 8 bit color is 256 colors - 16 bit color is 65536 colors - 24 bit color is millions of colors I am quite sure that a 2 year old iMac is capable of displaying millions of colors on both the built in monitor & the secondary external monitor (assuming we are not talking about a "humongous" external display). Also...the video card on a 2 year-old iMac has about 256 meg of video memory...I really do not think that the Mac needs to "simulate" millions of colors. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
