[geeks] Opinions and a question.

[Andrew Weiss]

Firstly... the question

How does one set 24bit high resolution graphics on a Crimson?  What I 
have so far looks to be 8 bit as a default

Secondly the gathering opinions.

What is the maximum temperature that a computer room containing a 
Crimson should run at long term with no damage possible assuming that 
fans inside the Crimson work just as they should and the case is closed 
properly with the proper air flow?

I have no AC... last night the computer room was at 82 F.  I opened a 
window behind the machine (elevated) and put in a box fan... and then 
opened another window at a right angle and with a smaller opening.  The 
box fan blows out... the other window is the intake.  I turned off our 
heat register in said room.  Morning this half of the house was 74 F... 
much better... but I know when summer rolls in it won't be pretty.  Does 
it really matter with this class of machines if it is 75-95 F? (aren't 
they old enough (run cool enough) and well designed enough to not 
care?)  My other machines don't seem to. (Dual PPro, Powermac G3, Sparc 
LX, Quadra 840, etc... ) but this machine is in a whole different 
ballpark.
