Abstract
A method and apparatus for dynamically regrouping display memory chips to efficiently implement 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit per pixel display solutions is provided. The invention permits the implementation of 24-bit per pixel solutions in which 24-bit pixels do not straddle addressable regions, but without requiring the use of a unused byte of display memory per 24-bit pixel.
