Resoulotion on x64

[Guest]

When changing screen properties, are you supposed to be able change from
32bit to 64bit?

thanx

If you are talking about color depth, is 64-bit even an option?

In screen properties, 32bit refers to colour depth. There is no 64bit
colour depth. It has nothing to do with a 64bit OS or 64bit CPU.

i can just see 16bit and 32bit. Im sure someone mentioned 64bit should be an
option.. You can select 8bit from the card settings...

No, I don't think so. I'm sure you have an idea of just how many colors
64-bit color depth would yield. It would serve no purpose since the eye
cannot detect differences above 32-bit color depth. Maybe 32-bit is more
than a person can distinguish anyway. I have seen folks confuse 64-bit
computing and color depth before and you probably read something such a
person wrote.
