0 a circuit board (= small piece of electronic equipment) inside a computer that allows it to receive and show moving images
The program used the standard video card of the computer.
The framerate is measured in frames per second, which refers to the number of times the video card recalculates the image shown on screen.
Sometimes software or a custom address decoder was used so that attempts to use the video card memory went instead to the standard memory.
The extent to which this is supported is dependent on the video card.
It is commonly used to bond heatsinks to motherboard chipsets and video card processors where there are no mounting holes to clamp a heatsink down.
On the back were 3 expansion slots, one of which normally housing a video card.
This extension was used for analog output from the video card, which was then routed through the system board to the system's own monitor output.
Full screen mode temporarily suspends the need for any window management, allowing applications to have full access to the video card.
