The VT1200 differs from VT1000 in three respect as given below:

    0 Performance

        VT1200 code is over all two times faster than the VT1000 V1.2 code.
        Graphics (circle, ellipses, wide line, pattern fills etc) in partucular
        is 4-8 times faster depending upon the graphic operations.

    0 Better Monitors

        VT1200 will ship with our new high resolution (1280x1024 for 19",
        1024x864 for 15"), and high refresh rate (72HZ, flicker free) monitors.
        These monitors have builtin tilt and swivel for better ergonomics.

        In contrast, VT1000 used 60HZ, 1024x864 monitors.

        New monitors are the best in their class. Both of the new monitors
        are 100 dpi monitors.

    0 More memory in the base system

        VT1200 will ship with 2MB of base memory. In contrast VT1000 shipped
        with 1MB of memory.
