Many cards do both 15 (5/5/5) and 16 (5/6/5), e.g. ATI Mach64. The main
disadvantage of 5/6/5 is that you cannot have accurate greyscales. Grey will
always be a bit greenish or purplish, since there are no integer values x and y
for which x/31 = y/63.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
