To calcultate the memory required you have to multiply the horisontal 
resolution, vertical resolution and color depth and divide it by 8.

memory required (in bytes) = horisontal resolution * vertical resolution 
* depth (in bits) / 8

for example:
1024 * 768 * 24 / 8 = 2,359,296
1024 * 768 * 16 / 8 = 1,572,864

So you can use 16bit color depth for 1024*768 screen resolution.
