5.3 Windows XP Driver Setup

DVMT dynamically responds to system requirements, and application demands, by allocating the proper amount of display, texturing and buffer memory after the operating system has booted. For example, a 3D appli- cation when launched may require more vertex buffer memory to enhance the complexity of objects, or more texture memory to enhance the richness of the 3D environment. The operating system views the inte- grated graphics driver as an application, which uses Direct AGP to request allocation of additional memory for 3D applications, and returns the memory to the operating system (OS) when no longer required.

The Intel Extreme Graphics Driver determines the size of the pre-allo- cated memory needed and will make additional Non-Local Video Mem- ory requests to achieve the amount needed for the display and application requirement. The video memory size in the Intel® 865G chipset varies and is determined using several factors. The key factors are system resources and system activity. The maximum video memory is up to 64MB SDRAM
