- I have the slowbuster set of course,

- only people with -09 busters. Bandwidth is limited to 50Mhz, but to be
- absolutely errorfree I have to go down to about 44 Mhz. Not much...
- Anyway, 24bit uses much more memory than 16bit (twice as much) and the
- improvement is only visible when you look real close. Not worth it most of
- the time. 16 bit works fine, but due to a bug in the driver you can't use
- 16bit interlace modes (or only small ones). If you have a decent monitor
- this is no problem.
