it would be
[X * Y * color depth(in bits)]
this would give you the the frame buffer size in bits.
Example:
Say we had a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and a color depth of 4 bits.
we would go
1280 * 1024 * 4
to give us
5242880 bits
then to get bytes we divide by 8 to get
655360 bytes
then to get kilobytes we divide by 1024 (Remember computers are base 2)
640 kilobytes
so a computer running at 1280 x 1025 with a color depth of 4 bits requires a frame buffer of 640 kilobytes.

Consider a 3 different raster system with resolutin of 64048012801024 and 25602048 what size frame buffer is needee for each of theae system tostore 12 bits and 24 bit?
to store 12 bits per pixel 1.for system with resolution 640 by 480 frame buffer size=(640*480*12)/8=0.46Mbyte 2.for system with resolution 1280 by 1024 frame buffer sizs=(1280*1024*12)/8=1.96Mbyte 3.for system with resolution 2560 by 2048 frame buffer sizs=(2560*2048*12)/8=7.86Mbyte to store 24 bits per pixel 1.for system with resolution 640 by 480 frame buffer size=(640*480*24)/8=0.92Mbyte 2.for system with resolution 1280 by 1024 frame buffer sizs=(1280*1024*24)/8=3.93Mbyte 3.for system with resolution 2560 by 2048 frame buffer sizs=(2560*2048*24)/8=15.72Mbyte

What is the Difference between frame buffer and z buffer?
The z-buffer holds information about the depth of a 3D scene. Specifically, it holds information about the coordinates of each object in the scene, so that the CPU/GPU knows the order in which objects should be drawn.The frame buffer is a more physical thing. Your computer monitor stores information for the next image it's going to draw in the frame buffer.
Line formula formula for the product of salicylic acid and methanol?
I want to know about, in which formula we can calculate the volume of buffer component like potassium phosphate buffer?
Should a photo go all the way to the picture frame or is a buffer okay?
A photo does not have to go all the way to the picture frame. It is the user's preference to have a buffer or not when displaying a photo.
What is the buffer size with the Iomega 1TB Prestige External Hard drive?
The buffer size is 8 MB.
How many tokens a buffer can hold?
That would depend on the size of the buffer.
Company policy requires disabling the command history buffer on network devices An administrator enters terminal no history size at the command prompt on a Cisco Catalyst switch and receives no error?
The size parameter reset the default buffer size but did not disable access to the buffer.
Is there a formula for calculating the speed of an object based on the relative size of that object at different points in a known time frame?
No there is not i hope that helps!
How many frames could A main memory 2GB store?
, I am assuming you are asking this question based on the book Computer Organization and Design 4th edition, question 1.2.2. This question I believe is the second part to the first question question which asked "What should be the size of the frame buffer to store a frame" From that frame size, you can simply convert 2 GB to MB or bytes, and divide from your previous answer in question 1.2.1. Hope that helps.
