THE VESA BUS.. WHAT IS IT?
Most of us today are always looking for a faster and better
computer. I know when I bought my 386sx-16 two years ago I
thought that this was awesome. Now when you goto the computer
store you see 486DX2-66 computers that make the 386SX 16 look like
an 8088. Not only has the computer market leaped but the software
market as well. Games now take 26 Megs of disk space to load and
there are CD-ROM Games like the 7th Quest that is like watching a
movie.
Well now comes the VESA. What is it? It stands for Video
Electronic Standards Association and its developed for multimedia.
Its a bus slot on the video card or motherboard that will make it
easier and cheaper to integrate motion video and other functions
into grapics adapters. So is it good to buy a computer system
with a VESA? Well you bet it is. With everything growing monthly
in the computer field look for the VESA Tag. Its another add on
that will allow upgrading your video to be easier.
