if you bought the card new within the last 6-8 years or so, it should be able to handle 256 colours no problem. to change to 256 really depends on what operating system you use. and chances are it can do even higher then 256
If you are running Microsoft Windows 95 or abov, right click the mouse on the desktop and then click the "Settings" tab at the top of the window, then you should see a box with different colours e.g. 16, 256, 16-bit, 32-bit etc. Change this and it should work. If you don't have the option to change it then your graphics card drivers may be incorrect or not even installed, to update these go to the website of the manufacturer and download them. If you need any further help please email me.
Sorry, I made a few mistakes in that...click on Properties in the drop down box from the right-click menu and then go to the settings tab.

How do i get 256 colors back on my PC. I formatted my PC and when i reinstalled windows 2000 my PC must have dumped my 256 colors and now i only have 16 colors. How do i get 256 colors back?
You haven't reloaded the video card drivers after installing Windows 2000. If your video card drivers weren't included with Windows 2000, you need to load them from the drivers CD that came with your PC or with the video card, if you bought it seperately. Which video card you have installed is something that YOU need to figure out. Once you get the correct drivers loaded, you should then be able to change your colors to 256 or higher.

How much will a 1GB card hold?
1GB is the same as 1,073,741,824 bytes I'm going to assume that you want to hold either pictures, music or video on your 1GB card. Because of it's limited amount of space the 1GB card is best used for storing pictures or audio files and not video. One hour of standard definition video at 2.2Mbit/s is about 1GB. It will also hold over 17 hours of compressed audio at 128 kbit/s. At the same time it will hold 1000 pictues at 1024×1024 pixel bitmap with 256 colors.
