Integrated Graphics Subsystem

6.1Introduction

This chapter describes the graphics subsystem that is integrated into the Intel Pentium Dual-Core G6950, Core i3, and select Core i5 processors. This graphics subsystem employs the use of system memory to provide efficient, economical 2D and 3D performance.

All systems provide dual-monitor support in the standard configuration. These systems can be upgraded by installing a PCIe x16 graphics card in the PCIe x16 graphics slot, which disables the integrated graphics controller

This chapter covers the following subjects:

Functional description (6.2)

Upgrading (6.3)

Monitor connectors (6.4)

Systems shipped with the Intel Core i5-750 or Core i7 processors require a separate PCI graphics adapter card. This adapter is not discribed in this guide.
