HERCULES DYNAMITE PRO(tm) - SPECIFICATIONS

EXPLOSIVE 32-Bit SuperVGA acceleration for DOS and Windows

FAST DOS - Up to 500% faster than standard VGA or other GUI
accelerator chips.

FAST WINDOWS - Faster memory-to-screen transfers in Windows
provides faster scrolling and redraws.

TOTAL COMPATIBILITY - Fully backwards compatible with all
software for the ET4000.

PHOTO REALISTIC COLOR - 16- and 24-bit color for imaging
applications.

FEATURES
* Powerful 32-bit Tseng Labs ET4000/W32i accelerator chip
In addition to the fastest SuperVGA architecture for non-
Windows-based graphics applications, the W32i provides hardware
acceleration for the functions most used by Microsoft Windows:
- Hardware BitBLT to speed large data transfers or tasks such
as scrolling graphics text.
- All 256 Raster operations are included in hardware, freeing
the CPU from time consuming data manipulation.
- Pixel Amplification(tm) to speed text printing, color
expansion, and rectangular area fill operations.
- Hardware cursor displayed from off-screen video memory.
* 1MB (upgradeable) or 2MB of DRAM
- The ET4000/W32i maximizes the efficiency of the interface
between the SuperVGA controller and its memory. With a 32-bit,
zero wait state data path on the local bus, and the W32i's internal
cache architecture, Dynamite Pro provides faster reads/writes to
graphics memory than any previous DRAM architecture.
- With 2MB of DRAM installed the W32i employs a memory interleave
technique that doubles the bandwidth of memory. This has a dramatic
impact on Windows performance, improving memory transfer speed by
100% over the 1MB configuration.

** Performance measurements were gathered on a 486DX2/66 Diamond
FastBus VLB motherboard configured with 8MB of system memory,
256K secondary cache, 13ms non-caching IDE hard disk with 2MB
SMARTDRV cache. Windows tests were conducted at 1024x768x256
color resolution at 72Hz refresh rate. The ZD Labs WinBench(tm)
3.11 tests were conducted without independent verification by
