Intel Desktop Board DG33TL Technical Product Specification • Display ⎯ Supports analog displays up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz refresh (QXGA) ⎯ Dual independent display support ⎯ DDC2B compliant interface with Advanced Digital Display 2 card or Media Expansion Card (ADD2/MEC), support for TV-out/TV-in and DVI digital display connections 1.6.1.2 Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) DVMT enables enhanced graphics and memory performance through highly efficient memory utilization. DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available system memory for maximum 2-D/3-D graphics performance. Up to 256 MB of system memory can be allocated to DVMT on systems that have 512 MB or more of total system memory installed. DVMT returns system memory back to the operating system when the additional system memory is no longer required by the graphics subsystem. DVMT will always use a minimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the BIOS Setup program) for compatibility with legacy applications. An example of this would be when using VGA graphics under DOS. Once loaded, the operating system and graphics drivers allocate additional system memory to the graphics buffer as needed for performing graphics functions. NOTE The use of DVMT requires operating system driver support. 1.6.1.3 Configuration Modes The video modes supported by this board are based on the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) modes of the monitor to which the system is connected. Standard monitors are assumed. 1.6.1.4 Digital Video Interface (DVI) The DVI port supports only DVI-D displays. If a DVI-I display is connected, only the digital signal will be displayed. The maximum supported resolution is 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz. The DVI port is compliant with the DVI 1.0 specification. Depending on the type of add-in card installed in the PCI Express x16 connector, the DVI port will behave as described in Table 4. Table 4.

Display
Supports analog displays up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz refresh (QXGA)
Dual independent display support
DDC2B compliant interface with Advanced Digital Display 2 card or Media
Expansion Card (ADD2/MEC), support for TV-out/TV-in and DVI digital display
connections
1.6.1.2
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)
DVMT enables enhanced graphics and memory performance through highly efficient
memory utilization.
DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available system memory
for maximum 2-D/3-D graphics performance.
Up to 256 MB of system memory can be
allocated to DVMT on systems that have 512 MB or more of total system memory
installed.
DVMT returns system memory back to the operating system when the
additional system memory is no longer required by the graphics subsystem.
DVMT will always use a minimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the
BIOS Setup program) for compatibility with legacy applications.
An example of this
would be when using VGA graphics under DOS.
Once loaded, the operating system
and graphics drivers allocate additional system memory to the graphics buffer as
needed for performing graphics functions.

NOTE
The use of DVMT requires operating system driver support.
