Abstract
A computer which is capable of displaying both video and graphical data is provided with a central processing unit (10), a memory controller (14), and a display system (4). These units are all connected to a bus (16). Modular functional units (2), e.g. video codecs, TV outputs, audio subsystems, are used to provide optional additional functions for the display system. A coupling means (6, 12) is provided to link the modular functional units to the display system (4) and to the memory controller (14).
