Have a look at the Trancept Systems board, which is a graphics/
image processing add-on for Suns. It can have 24 bit/pixel. It is
based on a special architecture with very long instruction
words. Sun actually acquired Trancept Systems (or is in the
process of acquiring it). More details were posted some
time ago in Sun spots. There is also a brochure, certainly
available at your nearest dealer...
Bonne chance !
