greedo 16 bit vs. 32 bit

could someone tell me the different between 32 bit and 16 bit in system setting. had to change to 16 for a game and was wondering if I could just leave it in 16 bit for everything

there is hardly a detectable difference at all according to some folks. i however can tell the color change quite easily. 16 bit is faster and easier on the graphics card but 32 bit is more colorful.

16 bit = Kansas
32 bit = Munchkinland

(in my opinion)

to Oz!

Are you talking about the color depth in Display Properties? You can leave it on 16 bit if you want to...you won't hurt anything.
