Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) 

DVMT enables enhanced graphics and memory performance through highly efficient 
memory utilization.  DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available system memory 
for maximum 2-D/3-D graphics performance.  Up to 256 MB of system memory can be 
allocated to DVMT on systems that have 512 MB or more of total system memory 
installed.  Up to 128 MB can be allocated to DVMT on systems that have 256 MB but 
less than 512 MB of total installed system memory.  Up to 64 MB can be allocated to 
DVMT when less than 256 MB of system memory is installed.  DVMT returns system 
memory back to the operating system when the additional system memory is no 
longer required by the graphics subsystem.   

DVMT will always use a minimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the 
BIOS Setup program) for compatibility with legacy applications.  An example of this 
would be when using VGA graphics under DOS.  Once loaded, the operating system 
and graphics drivers allocate additional system memory to the graphics buffer as 
needed for performing graphics functions. 

 

NOTE 

The use of DVMT requires operating system driver support.
