best was to create bios spalsh screens - colours etc

[R B Customs]

hey guys.
just wondering what the best technique is for creating a bios splash screen so that it shows up crisp
what size, DPI, and colour format etc...
and how i would create something in a chosen ( say 16bit) colour in PS:CS
im presuming its 16bit colour ? but im not sure :S

also advice on fonts... best way to get them to show up crisp

I'm taking a guestimate that it will be 320x240 @ 256 colours, i'd be surprised if it was 16-bit colour!

thanks mate
lol i presumed 16 bit was that horrible color settign you get from a fresh XPinstall with no GFX drivers
ill igve it a try... my theory is if it looks good in 256 on PS it will look good on the bios... ive tried a few 'photo quality' pics and they come up terrible... there bust be a kind of point whenre greys are either red green or blue... and they just shot up terribel lol
thanks
ill give it a go
