2.7.1 Video Memory Allocation

Video memory is allocated from the total available system memory for the efficient
balancing of 2-D/3-D graphics performance and overall system performance.
Dynamic allocation of system memory to video memory is as follows:
256 MB total RAM results in 32 MB video RAM
512 MB total RAM results in 64 MB video RAM
1 GB total RAM results in 128 MB video RAM
2 GB total RAM results in 224 MB video RAM

2.7.2 Analog Display (VGA)

The VGA port supports analog displays. The maximum supported resolution is 1920 x
1200 (WUXGA) at a 60 Hz refresh rate. The VGA port is enabled for POST whenever a
monitor is attached.

2.7.3 Digital Visual Interface (DVI-I)

The DVI-I port supports both digital and analog DVI displays. The maximum
supported resolution is 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). The DVI port is compliant with the
DVI 1.0 specification. DVI analog output can also be converted to VGA using a DVI-
VGA converter.

2.7.4 Flat Panel Interface (LVDS)

The flat panel interface (LVDS) supports the following:
Panel support up to 1440 x 900
