I'm new to the graphic card world and have a couple of questions. First off I have an Elsa Gladiac GeForce 2 MX card. It's got 32Megs SDRAM. First of all, what is the screen rez stuff everyone talks about? I run at 600x800. But I see stuff here where people are running way higher resolutions, like in the 1000x1000 type range. Why? For me, it makes my desktop icons and everything else soooo small. And how does it affect frame rates in games? And do they really look better at higher rez's? And does "higher resolution" mean higher numbers(i.e.1000x1000) or does it mean lower numbers (i.e. 600x800). Also, what about color depth? My old card didn't support 32 bit. This one apparently does, but I haven't noticed any real difference when I run it in 32 bit. How does running at 32 bit affect frame rates? And last but not least; I paid less than $100 for this card. But it seems that to go to the next step up is gonna cost well over $200. Isn't there something in between, say the $150 range that comes from a reputable card manufacturer? Sorry for what I'm sure are <i>really</i> lame-ass questions, but other than just plain asking them, I don't know where to start learning. Thanks in advance!
