A feature that delivers photo-realistic images by wrapping 2D bitmaps around 3D objects closely
matching the texture to the object. MIP-Mapping allows different versions of a texture to be used for
objects of different sizes. It also enables faster performance as textures do not need to be scaled in real
time.

A function that allows an object to maintain its 3D textural features as it moves away from the viewer,
into the background.

The smallest addressable element of a cathode ray tube display. More simply put, the individual dots that
make up the screen image.
mçáåí=p~ãéäáåÖ mçáåí=p~ãéäáåÖ mçáåí=p~ãéäáåÖ mçáåí=p~ãéäáåÖ====
The basic method of adding texture to an object. Point sampling does not include any filtering of textures.

The final component in the graphics subsystem that translates a digital image into an analog
representation.

Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) is a cost-effective solution to improve
bandwidth to and from memory, resulting in increased graphics performance.
pdo^j pdo^j pdo^j pdo^j====
Synchronous Graphics Random Access Memory allows data to be written in a single operation, rather
than a (slower) sequence of operations. It also handles background and foreground image fills effectively.
