Introduction
The high performance 3D video acceiemtpr gmphics card uses the
Acceiemted Graphics Port (AGP) interface AGP utilizes a dedicated
pipeline to access system memory for texturing, Zrbufiei—ing and alpha
biending
Equipped wtth the SGS—Thon’ison RNA new chip the graphics card
provides I28-bit memory interface that supports up to Loss/soc.
The graphics card supports the optionai antirilicierTV-cut tuhotioh aiioWihg
you to view computer output on either an NTSC or PAL teievisioni it
supports yioeo acceleration for vco and DVD piayback
Use the graphics card with soi‘twares that support 3D and enjoy more
texture and higherscreen resolution at higher frame rates. The graphics
card Wlii deliver faster and better graphics to your PC.

then used as the welghting factor between the top and bottom value
to calculate the final result
