NEW DELHI: The department of telecommunications, in a notice to all telecom operators, has reiterated that branding or naming services with less than 256 Kbps download speed is not in accordance with the Broadband Policy announced in October, 2004.
The government has strictly warned the telecom operators who indulge in marketing or posing to provide broadband services at download speed of 64 Kbps, 128 Kbps, etc., to refrain from such activities/publicizing advertisements as these types of services will not come under the category of broadband services.
In other words, any download speed, which is at 256 Kbps or more, can alone be termed as broadband services.

 ABI | S. 256 News Center
The bankruptcy reform bill, S. 256, has been passed by the House by a vote of 302–126.
On March 10, 2005, the Senate passed S. 256, the “Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.” The House Judiciary Committee approved the bill without amendment, sending it to the full House.
The Proposal furthers the principal objective of the reform legislation—to curb bankruptcy abuse—both by making bankruptcy relief more difficult for the most likely abusers and by adjusting procedures that could impair the goals of the legislation by imposing unnecessary costs on parties and the court system.

 vbAccelerator - 256 Colour DIBSections
Firstly, there is only 1 byte per pixel in a 256 colour image, so to process through all the pixels there are 9x less bytes to consider.
Secondly, the palette of a 256 colour image is implemented in a separate data structure.
To get it to work on a 256 colour display means you have to implement palette handling, and Visual Basic makes palette modification incredibly difficult.

 WinFast GeFource 256 DDR
The robust and advanced hardware design enables the WinFast GeForce 256 DDR to display more complex, life-like realtime images for different types of visual computing applications such as 3D gaming, animation, high-end 3D authoring, high-resolution CAD design, e-commerce and business software packages.
In an advanced graphics subsystem such as WinFast GeForce 256, instead of using the PC's central processor, massive graphics computation takes place at the on-board GeForce 256 GPU and its memory buffer; freeing the bottleneck between the graphics processor and the memory gets particularly important in order to achieve higher performance.
A: GPU is an acronym for "graphics processing unit." A GPU is a single-chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping and rendering engines that is capable of producing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second.

In reality, the differences between the GeForce 256 and the previous TNT2 and TNT cards are not incredible in terms of numbers but they are very well defined.
We will be concentrating on answering the question "Should I buy a GeForce 256 and why?" However, in the coming week we will be concentrating on much more in-depth benchmarking of the chip itself with Part 2 of our coverage.

The stock clock speeds for the GeForce 256 are 120MHz for the core logic and 166MHz for the memory.
You used to have to use a program like TNTClk to pump up your TNT-series card; now you can do it by changing one Registry key, which can easily be done by installing a little patch like this one.

Finally, speculations on the performance of the RADEON, the RADEON roadmap (including the multi-chip solution) and the outlook for the RADEON 256 in the marketplace.
For the first time, ATI is really attempting to take the coveted 3D performance crown. With 250 engineers on the project (about equal to Nvidia’s entire workforce just a year ago), the RADEON 256 looks as if it will definitely give Nvidia a run for its money.

In addition to improving the 3D performance of the Radeon 256 in comparison to the Rage 128 Pro, ATI has gone even further by adding cutting edge video performance, which includes full HDTV support through a component video out.
