- As long as he's using the on-board video (it will support 24-bit video
- on a 16" monitor with enough VRAM added (add 4)) it's pretty much
- like using an accelerated video card.

- The Quadra video was designed for speed. Its VRAM is on the local
- processor bus so it doesn't have to go over the relatively slow NuBus
- to access it.
