A Look at the ERAZOR II and VICTORY Erazor LT
Just what are you sticking into your computer? The boards are getting smaller, but at the
same time more powerful. In the diagram and legend below, we explain the functions of
the board's chief components
ᕡ The video memory. This checks out which image is being displayed on the screen
and thinks one step ahead. Only in this way can rapid graphics generation in the
graphics board be ensured.
ᕢ The graphics processor. The heart of the board. The RAMDAC is integrated in it.
The monitor is not able to process the digital signals from the graphics processor
directly. The RAMDAC comes in here and translates the digital signals into analog
signals. All this at a clock speed of 250 MHz.
ᕣ The BIOS. One of its tasks is to ensure that the system recognizes the graphics
board.
You can find technical details about the graphics boards on page 21.
