    first off, i saw a website that said the 2000 only has 24bit colour screen, rather thsn 32.. is that true?
    also.. what kind of restore disks does it come w/? and i heard that its default install is a FAT32 partition, is that true?

    thanks for all your help :)

    The ATI icon shows 32bpp. Yes its true it is partitioned in FAT32,C:|ACER and D:ACERDATA. I even see a hidden partition called ACER_SERVIC. I'm considering using PartitionMagic to reformat them as NTFS but I wasn't sure if this is due to Acer Arcade program that doesn't need Windows to run. I need to research it first before I do anything.

    Could you let me know if it's possible to play region 2 DVD's on your 2000 series machine?
    I was thinking of shipping a new 2025 from the US to the UK, but would like to be able to switch between the different regions.

    Also, is there anyway of altering the TV output from NTSC to PAL?
    The European versions have a spec listing PAL/NTSC output.

    Cheers



    I thought, "What's the worst that could possibly happen?"
    Then it did! [B)]
