    The "Read This First" document (part number 034-0856-A) states on page 6 in the section headed "Upgrading Your Card's Memory":

    "Adding more memory allows the graphics and display to use higher resolutions than 1024 x 1248 dots per inch (dpi)"

    I have the XClaim VR card and I cannot set my monitor to this resolution. Can you explain?

DISCUSSION

    The statement in the manual is incorrect. The maximum supported resolution of the XClaim VR card is 1280 x 1024.

    This was an error in compiling the information between the ATI XClaim VR retail card and the Apple branded card sold with our Teacher Workstation AV Bundle and the Rage 128 Pro card.

    The maximum resolution of the XClaim VR card whether you have the standard 4 MB of VRAM or you've upgraded to 8 MB is 1280 x1024. The only advantage to upgrading to 8 MB is to get better 3D acceleration in applications that take advantage of the 3D ASICs on the card.

    The ATI Xclaim VR manual is included with the system as a PDF file.
