Notes
- Where Graphics Controllers are configurable, you must have at least 32MB of texture memory (TRAM). Due to the differences in the manner in which hardware vendors approach display memory, we suggest that you consult your hardware vendor to ensure that your configuration will support your required resolution.
- Autodesk recommends the use of "Span Mode" for Dual Monitor configurations using Nvidia cards.
