Herb: > more bits means the maximum number you can represent is higher true
==================================================================== Not necessarily true, depends on the format, numbering, or scaling system used to encode the bits. Bits translates into resolution, more bits means just more different values are possible than less bits, but they don't necessiarly have to be higher values. i.e. they could be more values between zero and one, or negative as well as positve values, etc. Don't think that more bits always means higher numbers, it just means higher number OF NUMBERS.
