Methods, circuits, and apparatus for changing a frequency of a clock
signal provided to a graphics memory while reducing any resulting visual
glitch or disturbance on a monitor. A specific embodiment provides
multiple clock sources that may be multiplexed or selected to provide a
memory clock signal to the graphics memory. The multiplexer switches from
providing a first clock source signal as the memory clock signal to
providing a second clock source signal as the memory clock signal. The
first clock source changes its frequency of operation. After the first
clock source settles or stabilizes, the multiplexer switches back to
providing the first clock source signal as the memory clock signal.
