you need only 256*25fps=6.4Mb/sec bandwidth (This format can be played

<br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size=-1>you

need videobandwidth 1.2*25fps=30Mb/sec To watch such movie in real-time

you need enough power PC: (Celeron-450+DIMM based video card)</font></font>

<br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size=-1>i.e.
|

videobandwidth = 16*30fps=480Mb/sec (This means also that you need at least

32Mb of video memory to watch this stream: 16Mb for RGB area and 16Mb for

YUV area)</font></font>

|

|
Bandwidth of PCI slot is: 33Mhz*32bit=132Mb/sec And PCI2.1 has 66MHz*32bit=265Mb/sec
|
||||||
|
that is far enough for any movie playback (except HDTV streams which really

require AGP bus).</font></font>

What memory type should be installed on video card:</font></font>
|

|
<br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size=-1><b>SIMM</b>
|

|
- avoid that</font></font>
|

|
<br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size=-1><b>DIMM</b>
|

|
- good if your video card has 128-bit memory access.</font></font>
|
||||||
|
<br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size=-1><b>DDR</b>
|
||||||
|
- is far enough for all types.</font></font>
|
||||||
|
<br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size=-1>Note:
|
||||||
|
By DGA comparision - there is no any visible difference between video cards
|

which have installed the same type of video memory.</font></font>
|

|
<br><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size=-1><b>Resume:</b>
|

|
If you have enough power CPU (Celeron-450 or K6-2-500) it would be enough
|
||||||
|
to buy any video card which has at least 8Mb of DIMM or DDR memory.</font></font>
