VGASPEED
==========

Many vendors claim to have fast VGA cards, but how do you REALLY know
if they are telling you the TRUTH without buying it, taking it home,
installing it in your system, and testing it? By running VGASPEED on a
system installed with the VGA card you are interested in, you can determine
its frame rate BEFORE buying it; and then compare it with the frame rate
of other VGA cards. In this way you can make an INTELLIGENT decision on
which VGA card you wish to purchase!

When VGASPEED begins it will flash the screen, show multiple, moving
colors for about half a minute, and then show the results of its tests.

RESULTS:

CPU TYPE  = 80486+ Processor
CPU SPEED = 171 Mhz

VGA BUS TYPE =  32-bit
VGA    SPEED = .0066661 seconds/frame
             =  150.1   frames/second

CPU TYPE      is the micro-processor in your computer.
              Possibilities are 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486+.

CPU SPEED     is a VERY rough estimate of the EFFECTIVE clock rate
              for your computer system. Higher is faster.

VGA BUS TYPE  is actually a CODING EFFICIENCY indicator. For example,
              a result of 16-bit corresponds to maximum VGA speed
              when WORDS are mapped from RAM to VGA RAM, in contrast
              to BYTES (8-bit) or DOUBLE WORDS (32-bit).

VGA SPEED     is how fast it takes to update the entire screen from RAM.
              An average VGA Board runs at about 10 - 12 frames/second.
