Integrated Graphics
Media Accelerator 3000
3D/2D Controller
Microsoft DirectX® 9 based with support for Pixel Shader 2.0, 4:1 anisotropic
filtering, Gaussian texture filtering, shadow maps, volumetric textures,
double-sided stencil buffers, and 4 pixel pipes.
VGA Controller
Integrated
Bus Type
PCI Express™ x16 (If an external graphics card is installed in a PCI slot, the
internal graphics can be enabled or disabled using the system's BIOS setup
utility. If an external graphics card is installed in the PCI Express™ slot, the
internal graphics cannot be enabled).
RAMDAC
Integrated, 400 MHz
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-all 248 MB DVMT = max frame buffer of 256 MB
Controller Clock Speed
400 MHz
Overlay Planes
Single overlay support with 5x3 filtering
Maximum Color Depth
32 bits/pixel
Maximum Vertical
Refresh Rate
85 Hz at up to 1920x1440, 85 Hz at 2048x1536. Varies with mode and
configuration. See table below.
Multi-display Support
Support for one CRT via the motherboard's VGA connector. Support for an
additional DVI-D display via the optional DVI ADD2 card. Dual independent
displays and dual synchronous (Twin or Clone mode) displays are supported.

Modes listed are supported with a single active display. The supported mode list for multiple active displays is a subset of this list.
Not all modes will support video playback and some supported modes may use software MC (motion compensation) rather than
hardware MC. Not all modes will support 3D acceleration depending on the system configuration (e.g., resolution selected, size of
frame buffer, number of installed memory modules, etc.).
NOTE:
Other resolutions and refresh rates may be selectable but are not recommended.
