Integrated
Bus Type
PCI Express™ x16 (If an external graphics card is installed in a PCI or PCIe x1
slot, the internal graphics can be enabled or disabled using the system's BIOS
setup utility. If a graphics card other than an SDVO/ADD2 card is installed in
the PCI Express™ x16 slot, the internal graphics cannot be enabled).
RAMDAC
Integrated, 350 MHz (2048x1536@75 Hz)
Memory
Graphics memory is shared with system memory. Graphics memory usage
varies depending on the amount of system memory installed and system load.
8 MB is pre-allocated for graphics use at system boot time. Additional memory
is allocated for graphics as needed using Intel's Dynamic Video Memory
Technology (DVMT), to provide an optimal balance between graphics and
system memory use.
System memory equal or greater than 512 MB
8 MB pre-allocated + 248 MB DVMT = max frame buffer of 256 MB
Overlay Planes
Single overlay support with 5x3 filtering
Maximum Color Depth
32 bits/pixel
Maximum Vertical
Refresh Rate
85 Hz at up to 1920x1440, 75 Hz at 2048x1536. Varies with mode and
configuration. See table below.
Multi-display Support
Support for one CRT via the motherboard's VGA connector on SFF and MT.
Support for an additional display on SFF/MT can be accomplished with the
addition of SDVO/ADD2 option installed in PCIe x16 slot.
