Same here.

It doesn't matter much. Do you know or can you see the difference between 24 bit & 32 bit colors? Frankly, I don't & can't. They're pretty much the same to me. Certain video cards can show 32-bit on X.

Do a little reading about X, and read the read me from nvidia's site. You will find out that 24, isn't refering to the bit depth, and if it is set to 24 you are indeed running at 32.

Confusing I know, I wondered about it and did a little research and reading.

Bruce, what bit of "please do not reply to posts marked as double posts" didn't make sense?

there was only a 3 minute delay between your post and mine, I apologise, I must have been typing while you were posting.

When I saw your post I tried to delete mine, but it wouldn't let me. I didn't know, and will remember it in the future.
