I believe when you're playing at the native resolution of the screen, you don't need/want anti-aliasing on. You'd only want it on when you're playing lower than the monitor's native resolution or on a CRT.
When we talk about "16 bit" we're talking about colour depth. 24 bit depth is true colour, common monitors are limited to that or less. The greater the number, the more shades of colours your computer is able to produce, but you or your monitor might no be able to notice the difference or display them. The reason to have a high colour depth is so that you're able to adjust the image produced by your monitor (must like adjusting the contrast/brightness/hue in photoshop) and still have one colour differ from the other (think of it as more room to work).
