Intel G35 Graphics Subsystem

The Intel G35 Express Chipset contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics options. Either the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3500 (GMA X3500) graphics controller is used or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used.

The GMA X3500 graphics controller supports dual independent displays via the VGA and DVI-D connectors on the Desktop Board back panel. When a PCI Express x16 add-in card is installed on the Desktop Board, the Intel GMA X3500 graphics controller is disabled.
