Cool RAMDAC Question
What is the relationship between the RAMDAC & the resolution/refresh rate of my CRT monitor. For example what would be the max resolution & refresh rate of a 100MHz RAMDAC as opposed to a 300MHz RAMDAC?

Hi ACM,

Quote:
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) - The DAC on a graphics card is commonly known as a RAMDAC because it takes the data it converts directly from the card's memory. RAMDAC speed greatly affects the image you see on the monitor. This is because the refresh rate of the image depends on how quickly the analog information gets to the monitor
That was taken from Here
