Chapter 6 Intregrated Graphics Subsystem

6.1 INTRODUCTION


This chapter describes graphics subsystem that is integrated into the IGP component on the system
board. This graphics subsystem employs the use of system memory to provide efficient,
economical 2D and 3D performance.

Upgrading these systems is accomplished by installing a separate AGP graphics card in the AGP
slot. The system will detect an AGP graphics controller card during the boot sequence and disable
the integrated graphics controller of IGP.
