If you can’t see these numbers, widen the window until you
can see them. To resize a window, see “Lesson 5: Starting Pro-
grams” on page 52.
Graphics Card
A graphics card is also called a display adapter. It may be a board
installed in a desktop computer or a chip, as in the Portégé 650CT.
Program requirements are generally listed by the type of adapter
or the maximum resolution the adapter supports.
The Portégé 650CT display adapter is compatible with the VGA
(Video Graphics Array) and SVGA (Super VGA) standards. The
adapter has a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. For pro-
grams requiring resolutions higher than 640 x 480, you’ll probably
want to use an external monitor. See “Using an External Monitor”
on page 189 for more information.
Sound Card
Your computer has a SoundBlaster/Pro compatible sound card
that delivers 16-bit stereo sound capability. There are microphone,
line-in, and headphone jacks, as well as a volume control dial.
Pointing Device
The AccuPoint is a pointing device that performs all the functions
of a mouse.
If a program requires a joystick, you'll have to add one, and
possibly an adapter, to your system. Talk to your dealer to find
out which joysticks are compatible with your Portégé 650CT
computer.
Tips on Buying Programs
Before you buy:
❖
It’s a good idea to see a demonstration of the program.
❖
Talk to friends and your company’s computer experts about
the programs they recommend.
