VLB and card
SVGA VLB card ( ATI MACH64 ).
Additionally while greater graphics card performance was a primary goal of VLB, other devices could also benefit from the VLB standard ; notably many mass storage controllers were offered for VLB with increased hard disk performance.
Often coupled with 8-16 MB RAM and a VLB video card, the CPU was capable of playing every title available for several years after its release, making it a " sweet spot " in CPU performance and longevity.

VLB and 486
As bus speeds of 486 systems increased, VLB stability became increasingly difficult to manage.
PCI also displaced the VESA Local Bus in the remaining 486 market, with some of the last 80486 motherboards featuring PCI slots instead of VLB slots.
During the NV1's release timeframe, the transition from VLB / ISA ( 486s ) to PCI ( Pentiums and late model 486 boards ) was taking place, and games often used MIDI for music because PCs were still generally incapable of large-scale digital audio playback due to storage and processing power limitations.

VLB and processor
As VLB devices had direct high-speed access to system memory at the same level as the main processor, there was no way for the system to intervene if devices were mis-configured or became unstable.

VLB and bus
The tightly coupled local bus design that gave VLB its speed became increasingly intolerant of timing variations-notably past 40mhz.
* VESA Local Bus ( VLB ), once used as a fast video bus ( akin to the more recent AGP )
In the event, the new EISA bus was itself a commercial failure beyond the high end: By the time the cost of implementing EISA was reduced to the extent that it would be implemented in most desktop PCs, the much cheaper VESA Local Bus had removed most of the need for it in desktop PCs ( though it remained common in servers due to for example the possibility of data corruption on hard disk drives attached to VLB controllers ), and Intel's PCI bus was just around the corner.
It has been reported that some individuals have successfully run the chip at 200 MHz ; this would require a PCI-based system ( due to the instability of VLB at high speed ) and uncommon motherboards and cache RAM that could cope with a 50 MHz system bus.
ISA bus and VLB up to 2 MB of memory.

VLB and with
A " VLB slot " itself was simply an additional edge connector placed in-line with the traditional ISA or EISA connector, with this extended portion often colored a distinctive brown.
Few Pentium motherboards with VLB slots were ever made.
If one could achieve reliable operation of VLB at 50mhz it was extremely fast-but again this was notoriously difficult to achieve, and often it was discovered not to be possible with a given hardware configuration.
However most still had either PCI or VLB slots alongside the still-ubiquitous ISA slots, and so-called " VIP " ( VESA / ISA / PCI ) boards with all three slot types were also produced.
Diamond Stealth 32 VLB with ET4000 / W32p
* ET4000 / W32p ( 1994 )-PCI interface, also used with VLB.

VLB and minimal
As such, one requirement for VLB to gain industry adoption was that it had to be a minimal burden for manufactures to implement, in terms of board re-design and component costs-otherwise manufacturers would not have been convinced to change from their own proprietary solutions.

VLB and ),
* ET4000AX-Old ISA chipset, VLB OK ( 16-bit host interface, good response ), up to 1MB video RAM.

VLB and were
The reverse was also true-VLB cards were by necessity quite long in order to reach the VLB connector, and were reminiscent of older full-length expansion cards from the earlier IBM XT era.
Most PCs that used VESA Local Bus had only one or two VLB capable ISA slots from the 5 or 6 available ( thus 4 ISA slots generally were just that, ISA only ).
The lithic assemblages, which were excavated at the VLL and VLB loci at Veldwezelt-Hezerwater, mainly included low-quality local raw materials.
At the VLL and VLB sites at Veldwezelt-Hezerwater, where the campsites were present at a lithic raw material source, flint quarrying, core and tool reduction and hafting activities may also have been embedded in vital carcass-processing activities.

VLB and on
This was especially prevalent on lower-end motherboards, as the addition of more VLB cards could overwhelm an already marginal implementation.
VLB and Industry Standard Architecture | ISA slots on a motherboard

VLB and cards
The result was a normal ISA or EISA slot being additionally capable of accepting VLB compatible cards.
Ironically the VLB portion of a slot looked similar to a IBM MCA slot, as indeed it was the same physical 116 pin connector used by MCA cards rotated by 180 degrees.
The length of the slot and number of pins made VLB cards notoriously difficult to install and remove.
Contemporaneously, Number Nine made AGP, PCI, VLB and ISA graphics cards using S3 Graphics ' accelerator chips.

VLB and .
The VESA Local Bus ( usually abbreviated to VL-Bus or VLB ) was mostly used in personal computers.
The length of a VLB slot, and the difficult installation that resulted from it, led to an alternate expansion of the acronym: Very Long Bus.
VLB importantly offered an affordable high speed interface for consumer systems, as only by 1996 was PCI commonly available outside of the server market via the Pentium and Intel's Triton chipset.
* VLB Berlin ( Versuch-u. Lehranstalt für Brauerei in Berlin ) brewing school and trade organization in Berlin

fundamentally and tied
In his 2008 book, Remix, Lawrence Lessig presents this as a desirable ideal and argues, among other things, that the health, progress, and wealth creation of a culture is fundamentally tied to this participatory remix process.

fundamentally and card
The MIFARE Classic card is fundamentally just a memory storage device, where the memory is divided into segments and blocks with simple security mechanisms for access control.

fundamentally and directly

Although fundamentally a synthesis language ( imitative of if not directly inspired by Csound and other MUSIC-N languages ), JSyn has a number of powerful extensions and ancillary libraries, including JMSL ( a Java update to the HMSL music specification language ) and JScore ( a staff notation editor and library ), which adds a significantly higher level of musical informatics to the package than would normally be supplied with a set of synthesis routines.
Kant's doctrine maintains that human experience of things is similar to the way they appear to us — implying a fundamentally subject-based component, rather than being an activity that directly ( and therefore without any obvious causal link ) comprehends the things as they are in and of themselves.
In OO, RPC is usually termed “ remote method invocation ” ( RMI ), because subroutines or procedures that are directly associated with objects or classes are termed methods, but the concept is fundamentally the same in that the caller at the origin is suspended while the method at the destination object executes.
However because some aspects of memory are directly linked to attention it can be challenging to assess what components of a deficit are caused by memory and which are fundamentally attention problems.
Judge came to the belief that the structure of the Board, with the members of which were nominated by individual vestries rather than being directly elected, was fundamentally corrupt.
