Just wondering if all graphics cards are 32-bit capable. Have my eye on a Powercolor Radeon 9250, but in its specs it has 24-bit only at maximum resolution (2048 x 1536).

Now my crappy old Geforce can run at 32-bit so i'm assuming that the 9250 can, but not at mamimum res. Anyone have any ideas?

32-bit colour is actually just 24-bit colour (2^24 = 16.7 million colours) with an extra 8 bits of padding.
