Chapter 5 AGP VGA Setup
5.1 Introduction
As quoted from "Intel® 845G chipset Graphics Chipset Controller Hub (GMCH) Rev. 1.0 May 2002.”:
The Intel® 845G Graphics Memory Controller Hub (the 845G GMCH) is Intel’s first memory controller hub with integrated graphics for the Intel Pentium® 4 processor. The 845G GMCH, with its new architecture graphics engine, delivers not only high 2D/3D graphics performance, but also provides efficient, high bandwidth communication channels connect- ing the processor, the memory, the I/O subsystem, and other components together to deliver a stable mainstream desktop platform solution. The features include:
•
•Integrated 350MHz RAMDAC that can directly drive a progressive scan analog monitor up to a resolution of 2048x1536 at 60MHz
•Up to 1600 x 1200 x 32 resolution at 85 Hz refresh.
•H/W motion compensation assistance for s/w MPEG 2 decoding.
•Software DVD at 30 fps Full Screen.
5.2Dynamic Video Memory Technology
The following is quoted from "Intel® 845G/845GL Chipset Dynamic Video Memory Technology" Rev. 1.2 June 2002”:
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) is an enhancement of the UMA concept, wherein the optimum amount of memory is allocated for balanced graphics and system performance, through Direct AGP known as
