16 bits? Luxury. I had 6 colors when I was a kid and was happy to have them.

I got the extra vram in my LC to allow for 24-bit color but it was dog slow. The 16 bit data path didn't help. If I wanted it, I'd get things done in 8 bit or mono until it was ready, then switch to 24 bit for the final look.
