Getting Started
SURROUNDVIEW ™ provides the power and convenience of multi-adapter, multi-
monitor support for computers that use an AGP- or PCI Express ®-based graphics
card in conjunction with the following ATI integrated graphics processors (IGPs):
u RADEON ® XPRESS 200
u RADEON ® 9100 Pro
u RADEON ® 9100
u RADEON ® 9000
SURROUNDVIEW ™ enables support for up to three independent monitors.
Multi-monitor capability increases productivity, allowing you to read e-mail on one
screen, work on a spreadsheet on another, and create a document on yet another.
SURROUNDVIEW
™ is also ideal for an office environment. For example, a brokerage
can monitor trades, place orders, and sell —each on a different display.
W hen the home-office computer is not being used for work, it can be used to play the
latest games, several of which can take advantage of SURROUNDVIEW
™’s multi-
monitor display capabilities. For example, with Microsoft ® Flight Simulator, cyber
pilots can move different views to separate monitors.
Enabling the SURROUNDVIEW ™ feature requires only a few steps:
1. Installing a graphics card in the motherboard ’s PCIe™ slot.
2. Enabling the integrated graphics processor (if necessary).
3. Enabling SURROUNDVIEW ™ in the BIOS.
