Using Your Computer 1-41PCI Local BusThe industry-standard PCI bus is a highly integrated I/Ointerface that offers the highest performance local busavailable for the Pentium processor. The PCI bus supportsburst modes that send large chunks of data across the bus,allowing fast displays of high-resolution images.The high bandwidth PCI local bus eliminates the databottleneck found in traditional systems, maintainsmaximum performance at high clock speeds, and providesa clear upgrade path to future technologies.PCI Auto ConfigurationYour system comes with a PCI auto-configuration utilitythat operates in conjunction with the system’s Setup util-ity. The utility automatically configures interrupts, DMAchannels, I/O space, and other parameters to allow addi-tion of optional PCI boards with minimal intervention onyour part.Video FeaturesThe system’s high-performance PCI video controller withgraphics accelerator and standard 1 MB of video memorysupports the following resolutions:Resolutions supported with the standard 1 MB of videoDRAM are as follows.n 640 by 480 with 16 colorsn 640 by 480 with 256 colorsn 640 by 480 with 64,000 colorsn 640 by 480 with 16.8 million colorsn 800 by 600 with 16 colorsn 800 by 600 with 256 colorsn 800 by 600 with 64,000 colorsn 1024 by 768 with 16 colors
