Not exactly. As I recall there is an option you set in the Monitor control
panel that sets the MAXIMUM bit depth you can use. It reserves the memory
and requires a restart for the change to take effect. So if you set the
maximum to 256 colors at 640x480 it will reserve 300K of RAM for video.
You can set the actual display bit depth to whatever you want. This
setting is accessed via the options button in the Monitor CP if memory
serves.
