Re: A83: ti-83 slow???






<< Sorry buddy, but the screen on the 83 is the exact same as on the 82,
hardware
 and software wise. The two calcs run at the same speed.. which is the same
 speed as the 85 6mhz Zilog chip. But the 85 has a memory-mapped display which
 makes the graphics much faster. The 82 and 83 have a display port. Until
 recently all 83 programs would use the graph_mem to write the graphics and
 then do a slow call to the ROM to update the display. While most 82 programs
 just accesed the port directly... hence the speeds are the same, but
sometimes
 the 83 programs are slower

thanx for clearing that up for me
