[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be a bare minimum for photo editing ... only "thousands" of possible color combinations and uses a CLUT to do color translation. No one serious about photography really uses such low end stuff anymore; most of the graphics adapters on even very modestly priced systems support [EMAIL PROTECTED]@24bit per pixel.

Adobe says that a 16-bit video card is required for CS2. I don't know what
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] depth" means. Sounds like it's the same as 8-bits (3 x
8-bits).
BTW, the Adobe suggestions at the URL below are really only bare minimum,
and depending on what processes are running in the background or other
programs that may be running, RAM of less than 1gb may be an issue. On a
WinXP system 2gb is a very good way to go. Two fast hard drives are also a
good idea, one essentially dedicated to the Photoshop scratch drive.

1) Be sure you have hardware which is adequate to the task. A late-model, 1Ghz or faster system, 512M to 1.5G RAM, a fast hard drive of 80G or better capacity, a good monitor with at least 1024x768 display capability, [EMAIL PROTECTED] depth if you want to run Photoshop CS(2) effectively.
