1.5.1.1 Video Memory Allocation
Video memory is allocated from the total available system memory for the efficient
balancing of 2-D/3-D graphics performance and overall system performance. Dynamic
allocation of system memory to video memory is as follows:
• 256 MB total RAM results in 32 MB video RAM
• 512 MB total RAM results in 64 MB video RAM
• 1 GB total RAM results in 128 MB video RAM
• 2 GB total RAM results in 224 MB video RAM
1.5.1.2 Analog Display (VGA)
The VGA port supports analog displays. The maximum supported resolution is 2048 x
1536 (QXGA) at a 75 Hz refresh rate.
1.5.1.3 Configuration Modes
For monitors attached to the VGA port, video modes supported by this board are
based on the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) protocol.
