Is there another way to solve this problem without using the 4bit graphic mode, since it's more pleasing to the eyes with the 8bit graphic? Would overclocking the graphic card help?

Personally I couldn't see any difference between 4bit and 8bit graphics. Maybe i'm just old and blind ;) Where exactly can you tell the difference? Maybe if someone shows me where the graphics are inferior, then I too can feel slighted. -JH-

For the most parts, there's not that big of a difference between the 4bit and 8bit graphics. The color in the 4bit seems a bit dull, compared to the 8bit mode, at least to my eyes. Okay, I know I'm rather picky about this. So sue me. ;)
