- 1. What software takes advantage of the RAMDAC
- chip in the ATI UP? If I buy it, how do I benefit
- from it?
-
- 2. Also, when I am in 640x480 64K color mode,
- windows reports the number of device colors
- as 4096, not 64K. Any ideas why? Is it right to
- say that the windows drivers don't support use
- of all the colors that the hardware allows?
-
- 3. Also, how can I get information about programming
- the graphics card directly? I know this is
- probably a good way to screw up my monitor, but
- I would like to know about it anyway.
