2 System Board - (SiS Chipset) (Part Number: D4051-63001)

Overview

Overview

The type of system board described in this section uses shared memory
based on UMA (Unified Memory Architecture), meaning that there is no
dedicated frame buffer used by the video controller (SiS 6205). Instead, the
controller uses a portion of the system memory as a frame buffer.

The following tables show the models that are associated with the HP
Service Part Number: D4051-63001. For further detailed information
concerning system features and a comparison between the desktop and
minitower models, refer to “System Features” on page 17.
