htc Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I donot think this thread will help us much... just waste of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 I knew you would answer something like that... don't be close minded EDIT: in the end will be able to get a better knowledge and draw a line where we can expect our Multi-Boot CD to work almost for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I like the idea...You have not posted your results of testing with VMware. So I tested with VMware 4.5, and everything works perfect. Absolutely no problems. I'll test later with integrated GeForce MX440, and post results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incroyable HULK Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 FINAL VERSION 1.6 !!!There won't be another version of this test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I tested this (1.6) in a GeForce MX440 machine, and all seems fine. Except...I was not able to tell the difference between 16-bit color and 24-bit color - to my eyes it both looked like the same thing. All the other modes, I could clearly identify the number of color boxes (like, 16, 256, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Actually, EasyBoot is converting 24Bits images to 16Bits so there is no "true" 24Bits mode. I suppose this could come later..I wanted to see if there was a difference between a "pure" 16Bits (done with ACDsee) and a 24Bits converted automatically by EasyBoot to 16Bits... and actually there is! Because you can notice the difference in the text when using 640x480 mode.Thanks for the result! BTW it is an integrated GeForce MX440 right? If so on wich chipset?

prathapml Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 it is an integrated GeForce MX440 right?Yep. On an nForce2 (with integrated graphics) based MoBo. And made by MSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
