2.4.9 GRAPHICS SUBSYSTEM

The 82845 MCH component includes an AGP 4X interface that supports an AGP graphics controller installed in the AGP slot. The AGP slot includes both Type 1 and Type 2 retention mechanisms. Dual-monitor support is possible by adding a PCI graphics card to the standard configuration. Table 2-4 lists the key features of the standard graphics subsystems employed in these systems:
