Your computer’s video and memory features work together for enhanced performance. Incorporating Wingine technology, the advanced system architecture allows the CPU to communicate directly with the video memory, providing direct throughput from the system memory to the display. Combined with the speed and graphics capabilities of the Wingine VGA controller, this technology produces screen refresh rates that are ten times faster than standard super VGA systems and up to five times faster than systems that employ “local bus” technology.
Additionally, your computer can use all of its memory as a virtual cache pool. Unlike most systems that provide only a 64KB or 128KB cache buffer-which typically fills up with the first or second memory access command-your computer uses all the RAM as a “virtual” cache buffer. You’ll notice the improved performance especially when running memory-consuming graphics programs such as Windows applications or CAD programs.
Using the built-in interfaces, you can connect your peripheral devices directly to the computer so you don’t have to install option cards. You can use the option slots to enhance your system with extra functions such as a modem card, network card, or additional interface ports.
VGA UtilitiesYour computer comes with special MS-DOS®VGA device drivers and utilities for use with the integrated VGA interface. With these utilities, you can take advantage of extended VGA features such as high resolutions and 132-column text mode when you run popular application programs. The Wingine controller works with the display drivers to provide sharp, clear resolutions of up to 1024 x 768 for the Windows environment. See the VGA Utilities Guide for installation instructions.
