Technical Specifications - Graphics
Intel® HD	3D/2D Controller	Microsoft DirectX® 10 based with support for Pixel Shader 3.0
Graphics	VGA Controller	Integrated
	DisplayPort	Integrated, Multimode capable; supports HDCP
	Bus Type	PCI Express™ x16

	Memory	Graphics memory is shared with system memory. Graphics memory usage varies
		depending on the amount of system memory installed, BIOS settings, operating
		system, and system load. 32 MB is pre-allocated for graphics use at system boot
		time. Additional memory can be allocated at boot time by the BIOS for PAVP
		(Protected Audio Video Playback) support for playback of protected video
		content. For Vista, use of PAVP heavy mode preallocates an additional 96MB.
		Additional memory is allocated for graphics as needed using Intel's Dynamic
		Video Memory Technology (DVMT), to provide an optimal balance between
		graphics and system memory use.
