The Chromax 2400S graphics accelerator ($899) uses three S3 accelerator chips, each of which controls an 8-bit-color channel of 24-bit RGB color displays. Resolution goes up to 1280 by 1024 pixels with 16.7 million colors. From Umax Technologies (Fremont, CA), the card is available for ISA, VESA, and PCI systems. The 3-MB-DRAM ISA version is expandable to 6 MB; the standard VESA and PCI versions have 6 MB of DRAM built in. Built with the deluxe version of the AutoCAD driver, the Chromax 2400S provides a display list, a spyglass, real-time panning and zooming, a bird's-eye view, and on-line help. A virtual screen helps with the panning and editing of large pieces of artwork, and a monitor-calibration utility is available for gamma corrections.
