Question gradient background on 16bit screen ???

Hi guys,

When applying a background picture to the web site, that slowly fades away down, it adds some nice look ( on 24-32bit color display ) but I'm concerned about users (who still use 16bit color settings) , it looks just ugly for them!

As we all know, nowadays people use modern powerful computers that support 32bit, but the fact is that in some very poor countries they still have old computers on their desks in schools, so my question is:

Should I ignore users having 16 bit displays for my next web site ???
Don't ask what web site is about or who may be the visitors. There is no middle in this question! You can't ignore a person a little bit, you either ignore them or not!

1. As an example, open and see background picture on Microsoft Corporation for example.
2. Then try switching to 16bit colors in Control Panel->Display->Settings->Color Quality: 16bit and open that page again to see how nice it looks after that!

Your comments appreciated,
