A rendering system with multi-pixel span processing capability. When 3D graphics processes are not required, 2D data is processed in multi-pixel span fragments. Span fragments permit parallel processing of multiple pixels in a serial architecture, and permit VRAM block fills for accelerated processing under optimal conditions.
