- You need only 1Mb VRAM to support 16-bit color on monitors up to 16". I am
- typing this message on a Q950 with a 16" color monitor that is exactly so
- configured. With 2Mb VRAM you can get 24-bit color.

-
- The Q950 supports 16-bit color on 19" color monitors with 2Mb VRAM. The
- Q700/Q900 do not support 16-bit color at all. None of the Quadras can support
- 24-bit color on a monitor that size without an add-on video card.
