     I have a 701C myself. Just wondering, they say the chipset can show 16m
     color (as can be seen by the vesa or windows drivers) and the LCD can
     do 256 colors. Does that mean the LCD pixels can do a certain no. of
     colors only ? (Meaning a fixed 256 color ? Or a fixed 256 colors from
     16m color ? If it's fixed, anyone got the palette?)
