GLOSSARY

Extended VGA (= X-VGA or shorter and more common XGA) graphics cards have a memory of 512 kB and more. The standard resolution is at 1024 x 767. Additionally, the color depth has been extended from 256 colors to High Color (16 Bit) and True Color (24 Bit). Most X-VGA cards are equipped with their own dedicated processor in order to accelerate the displaying of computationally expensive images (accelerator card) and supported 3D graphics.
