Appendix F ATI RAGE PRO AGP Graphics Card
F.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ATI RAGE PRO AGP Graphics Card is based on the ATI RAGE PRO controller. The AGP
design provides an economical approach to 3D processing by off-loading 3D effects such as
texturing, z-buffering and alpha blending while the on-board SGRAM stores the main display
image. This card comes with four megabytes of 100-MHz SGRAM memory, two megabytes
soldered on the board and a 2-MB SGRAM module installed in the SODIMM socket. The
graphics BIOS code is contained on-board in BIOS ROM.
