If any other program writes to this memory area, a system error may result. ► Memory Hole At 15M-16M This option is used to determine whether the 15M-16M address field of memory is reserved for the ISA expansion card. ** VGA Setting ** ► PEG/Onchip VGA Control This option is used to enable or disable PCI Express graphics card or onboard VGA. ► On-Chip Frame Buffer Size Intel G31 chipset supports the selection of two different sizes of pre-allocated memory : 1MB and 8MB. This pre-allocated memory selection is supplied for legacy VGA and SVGA graphics support and compatibility. Upon boot, the System BIOS will pre-allocate the amount selected (1MB or 8MB) from the top of the main system memory, which will be dedicated for VGA/ SVGA graphics. The VGA graphics memory is needed for applications run from a Microsoft MS-DOS or legacy operating system, where there is no Intel Graphics Driver loaded. ► DVMT Mode Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) dynamically allocates system memory for use as video memory to ensure the most efficient use of available resources for maximum 2D/3D graphics performance. The amount of video memory allocated depends upon the amount requested by the operating system. When the memory is no longer required, it is returned to the operating system for use by other applications or system functions. DVMT allocates memory based on system needs. This BIOS option allows you to adjust the amount of memory available for DVMT. Fixed is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) 32
