Low price or integrated card only for desktop.
p.s. MSI (comp), Radeon (card) :down: (its only my opinion and experience)
Colour depth is not problem, you can change your desktop to 16bit on win xp, w7 (dont know about vista, but theoretically it can)
Wine emulate everything (almost), TS working because its translate directx to opengl
Hmm ..., i can disabe DD on W7, so we need new game launcher to emulate DD=disabled.
