I recently slapped a PCI video card in my system and hooked up the 15" monitor I keep on hand (for dragging out and connecting to the odd machine, here and there).

Anyway, despite a reputation for ATI cards not getting along with other video cards in this manner, everything went off without a hitch. I'd prefer it if my main monitor were #1 in the setup, and used for the POST and boot processes, but I don't care much about that. What I do care about is that I can't get the color depths to act correctly.

It appears that although I have my main monitor set to be displaying at 32 bit, it is not doing any better than 16 or 24. Regardless, no matter what I do, I can't get it to do what the properties are actually saying. The second monitor, by the way, has 24 bit as the max available.

Thanks for any help in advance.

*edit*
And does anyone know of any good free monitor management programs? I've got UltraMon running and I really like it, but $40 for this program is too much.
