Technical Information
Accelerated Graphics Port
The system board contains a 132-pin accelerated graphics port (AGP) connector that
supports graphics-intensive, 3D applications. The AGP operates independently of the PCI
bus and supports 133-MHz data transfer rates, allowing 500 MB of data to be transmitted
per second.
The AGP is Plug and Play compatible and supports the ATI XPERT@Work AGP and
Cirrus Logic DM-5465 graphics board options available from NECCSD.
With the graphics board installed in the AGP connector, attach the display monitor to the
board's VGA-compatible connector on the rear panel.
Graphics Controller
The graphics controller is specifically designed for graphics-intensive operations, including
3D and 2D effects, texture mapping, text and color pixel amplification, and video
acceleration. The controller minimizes bus traffic by off-loading the tasks normally
performed by the processor, providing 64-bit, high resolution performance for demanding
True Color displays and other sophisticated graphics functions.
Motion Video Controller
The motion video controller integrates a Windows graphical user interface (GUI) engine
and motion video playback hardware.
Support includes:
T
MPEG-1 or MPEG-2
T
Video for Windows
T
Active Movie (Windows 95 only).
MPEG is a compression/decompression standard developed by a professional video group
called the Motion Picture Experts Group. MPEG produces full-screen, 30-frames-per-
second (fps), broadcast-quality digital video.
NOTE: The following sections describe the
features of the ATI XPERT@Work AGP 2X
and Cirrus Logic DM-5465 video boards. For
information on the Number Nine Revolution III
PCI graphics board, see "Video Board" later in
this section.
If you install another graphics board, its features
may be different.
