Let's see 3.4028236692093846346337460743177e+38 colors or about 340,282,366,920,938,463,374,607,431,770,000,000,00 0 so a 800 by 600 by 128bit screen would take about 8 megs. A 2048 x 1536 x 128bit screen would take 48 megs. :^) if you round the piece of pie.

340 billion, billion, billion, billion colors!

so a 800 by 600 by 128bit screen would take about 8 megs. A 2048 x 1536 x 128bit screen would take 48 megs.

Hmm.. sounds a bit low to me.

I hear there is so much RAM on board that the entire game will sit on the video card and save system resources =P

Try saving the jpg in "standard" rather than "progressive" format.

128 bit color

Actually a pic at 1280x1024 using 128bit color would be closer to 20MB. And it's not 128bit really visible, since 24 bit color does it pretty well, but things like transparencies (before limited to a mere 8bit, or 256 degree's of transparency), anti-aliasing, etc. SO the pic will look MUCH better in the fine details. Although if your just playing a game at a zillion FPS, then it wont matter.
