Video Features
The system's high-performance PCI local bus video with a
bit-block transfers (BitBLT) graphics accelerator and 1 MB
of video memory support resolutions up to 1280 by 1024
pixels with 16 colors, 1024 by 768 with 256 colors, and
640 by 480 with 16.8 million colors.
With 2 MB of video memory, the video hardware supports
up to 1600 by 1200 pixels with 16 colors, 1280 by 1024
pixels with 256 colors, or 1024 by 768 pixels with 64,000
colors.
The graphics accelerator speeds the movement of large
blocks of image data in video memory. As display resolu-
tions increase, image creation and movement into video
memory are critical factors in graphics performance.
