. | This is a card that should not be run in 24bit, as it is not hardware accelerated in any way. No Matrox cards are. 32bit would actually be conciderably faster.

What do you mean it's not hardware accelerated at 24-bit?
Why does it have this setting then?

Run a couple benchmarks on it, and you'll see the difference.
The setting is there because many people who do photo editing prefer to use 24bit, as it has been a standard for this type of work for a long time, and offers additional alpha channels that are not available in 32bit. | |

16bit on every computer on my network. I'll only use 32bit if I have too, and so far I've never had too. Even with LANed games.
