- I asked my boss (who is currently designing a local bus board), he tell me that
- the ** maximum ** limit for a VL-BUS (local bus designed by the VESA organization) is
- a little bit more than 100 MB/S. But he also said that making a graphic board that can
- work at this speed will be fare too expansive.
-
- Anyway, this local bus is not the best one, Apple has designed a bus called
- QuickRing that has a maximum limit of 350 MB/S.
-
- If you want a really fast graphic board, just buy a GVP EGS-110, you get 1280x1024x24,
- and the transfer rate between the cpu and the graphic memory is around 40 MB/S.
- When you make a copy in the video ram the transfer rate can be up to 576 MB/S.
