Power Mac built-in-video speed

For the best video speed, use a VRAM card. The speed of the Power Macs' built-in video varies greatly, depending on which flavor you use. In all cases, the VRAM card (available only on the 7100/66 and the 8100/80) was the fastest in our tests. The runner-up was the Power Macs' built-in RAM-based video. And watch out if you choose an av configuration: The av card's video speed was the slowest of the lot.

Power Macintosh 7100 (AV card)	19.42
Power Macintosh 8100 (AV card)	24.10
Power Macintosh 7100 (DRAM)	29.20
