| VRAM is a high-performance memory technology that improves video graphics for PCs. VRAM is similar to DRAM with one huge advantage it can be written to and read from at the same time. This greatly enhances performance by allowing the processor on the STB video card to start reading the image from memory and sending it to your monitor without having to wait for the Pentium® processor to finish writing it into memory. The EDO (Extended Data Out) feature further improves the processing power by up to 33% more. | | VRAM is a high-performance memory technology that improves video graphics for PCs.

− | Most other video accelerators are driven by 135MHz DACs (the part of the video card that converts the signal for display on your monitor). The Velocity 3D features a screamingly-fast 220MHz DAC. This allows the card to support higher resolutions, up to 1600x1200, for the ultimate in image clarity. You also get incredibly high refresh rates of up to 160Hz for a rock-solid image without a hint of flicker. | + | Most other video accelerators are driven by 135MHz DACs (the part of the video card that converts the signal for display on your monitor).
