Could anyone help me out with a little problem I'm having???

My assignment asks me to fill in a table with details of Video For Memory.

for all the Screen Resolutions (e.g. 640 X 480, 800 X 600 etc) and colour depths for each resolution (4, 8, 16, 24) I have to find out the No. of Colours, Bytes used and Practical Memory used!!!

If that makes sence to anyone, could you point me in the direction of a Web Site :o)

Thank you.

No probs - as long as you remember 1024 (2^10) you can't really go wrong!

8 bits = 1 byte

1024 bytes (1024) = 1 kilobyte (1kb)

1024 kilobytes (1024kb) = 1 megabyte (1mb)

1024 megabytes (1024mb) = 1 gigabyte (1gb)
