3.4.3Advanced Chipset Features

From this setup page you can configure the size of the video controller’s on-chip frame buffer, set up the controller’s DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) mode and memory size, and specify what type of display will be used as the system’s boot-up console output device.

DVMT is an advanced video controller function that dynamically allocates system memory to be used as video memory in order to efficiently use of available resources to maximize graphics performance. The DVMT-related BIOS settings configure the behavior of the DVMT function, including how much system memory is made available for video memory purposes.

The default display setting allows selection among CRT, LCD, CRT plus LCD (default), LVDS, TV out, or CRT plus LVDS devices. Other settings specify the resolution of devices connected to the LCD or TV output ports. The resolutions supported in each mode are listed below.
