Power Macintosh: VRAM Expansion Card Minimum Bit Depth (3/94)

My new Power Macintosh has the VRAM Expansion Card installed. When I connect my display to it the lowest bit depth I can select is 8 bit (256 colors/grays).

The Power Macintosh was determined to have sufficient processing power with the VRAM Expansion Card to support 256 colors/grays at similar speeds as lower bit depths. Thus the VRAM Expansion Card only supports 256, Thousands, and Millions as options.

The AV Card has the traditional set of color depths, from black and white up to Millions.
