Ever heard of GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT??

[jason s]

A graphic processing unit or GPU is a dedicated graphics enhancing device for a personal computer and game console. GPU is sometime called as visual processing unit or VPU. Some people define GPU as “a single chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second.” Modern GPUs are very effective at manipulating and displaying computer graphics, and their highly parallel structure makes them more effective than general purpose CPUs for a range of complex algorithms. A GPU can be directly fitted into the motherboard or on top of a video card. More than 90% of new desktop and computers have integrated GPUs, which are usually far less powerful than those on a video card.
