2.5 Video Function
The onboard video controller is capable not only of enhancing video display, but
supporting 3-D video applications as well. The video controller features the Accelerated
Graphics Port (AGP) design - the latest bus architecture that is considered to be the best
solution for 3-D applications. AGP offers greater bandwidth; thus, it is capable of
speeding up the VGA bus in order to meet the requirement of 3-D applications.
The board comes with 4-MB video memory. Larger video memory allows you to display
higher resolutions and more colors.
The following table lists the video resolutions supported by the onboard VGA:
