Memory
3dfx Voodoo Graphics frame buffer
EDO DRAM on the card itself, split between the frame buffer and texture storage. Voodoo Graphics rendered only 3D and passed 2D through from a separate display adapter, so this memory holds no desktop.

Figures
provisional A figure marked provisional is recorded but not accepted: its evidence is unsettled. It may rely on one source, an unconfirmed announcement, or a digit read from a damaged scan. The reason appears under the figure. The catalog shows the figure but never uses it in a multiplier. How records are judged.
