- ║ SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS Graphic CARD : General Remarks ║
- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- The V7-VEGA PLUS graphic card is a product that offers significantly
- enhanced features compared to other standard VGA graphic and
- accelerator boards.
-
- This particularly applies to
- - higher resolutions and
- - higher refresh rates.
-
- Please be aware that you can only take full advantage of the
- features provided by the V7-VEGA PLUS, if the other components of
- your system, especially the graphic monitor that is being used,
- also comply with the specifications of the V7-VEGA PLUS.
-
- (Example : The resolution 1280x1024 that is supported by the
- SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS can obviously not be used with a monitor that
- is specified to only support resolutions up to 1024x768.)
-
-
- ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
- ║ Windows Driver Installation ║
- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- For installing the SPEA V7 windows driver 'BigWin', please
- refer to the manual.
-
-
- ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
- ║ Monitor Selection ║
- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- As already mentioned above, the graphic monitor used with the
- SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS must comply to the specifications of
- the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS. Only then can the full functionality
- of the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS be used.
-
- *** IMPORTANT ***
-
- Please only select parameters that your monitor is specified for.
- Your monitor may be seriously damaged, if it is constantly driven
- with parameters which are not within the range of its specification.
- If you change your monitor you have to compare the specification
- and, if necessary, to change the resolutions / refresh rates!
-

- ║ Known Limitations ║
- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- (1) It is not possible to use two or more VGA boards in one PC at
- the same time.
- In case you want to use the V7-VEGA PLUS board in a PC that has a
- VGA interface integrated on the motherboard, then this integrated
- VGA interface must be disabled before the V7-VEGA PLUS may be used.
-
- (2) In some PCI PCs you may reboot (cold restart) your computer twice
- if the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS is installed in a PCI motherboard slot
- of such systems.
-
- (3) Some applications such as Windows 3.1, and others offer
-
- "Video 7 ..." display interfaces
-
- in their configuration programs.
-
- These options should NOT be selected when using the
- SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS.
-
- Please follow the instructions given in the user's manual to
- guarantee that the optimum configuration for the SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS
- is being installed.
-
- (4) To keep the compatibility to a lot of monitors, the
- SPEA V7-VEGA PLUS has the possibility do create low refreshrates
- at high pixel resolutions. Synchronisation problems may in this case
- occure with high-class multi-sync monitors. To prevent this, please
- choose the highest horizontal frequenzy as possible with your monitor.
