MACPICASSO 520 |
|
The MacPicasso 520 is a 64 bit PCI accelerated graphic board, able to work with any
PowerMacintosh, Performa or any other Mac clone with a free PCI slot.
Virtually any monitor on the market can be used with the MacPicasso 520, both Apple and
PC VGA types, without the need of special adapters or configurations: The board is completely
"plug-and-view" and it is able to automatically recognise the type and kind of monitor connected and
use it at its best.
The MacPicasso520 provides very fast screen handling (thanks to the QuickDraw hardware
acceleration), many screen resolutions (up to 1600x1200), very sharp and clear images (thanks to the
high vertical refresh rates), colour modes up to million of colours (32 bit), hardware virtual screen
handling and more.
It is the perfect solution to upgrade the video output performances with the best price/performance
ratio on the market. It is the perfect solution to drive a second monitor for the "multi-monitor approach
to the problem". |
