Product Description 1.6 Intel® G41 Express Chipset The Intel G41 Express chipset consists of the following devices: • Intel 82G41 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) with Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect • Intel 82801GB I/O Controller Hub (ICH7) with DMI interconnect The GMCH component provides interfaces to the processor, memory, PCI, and the DMI interconnect. The component also provides integrated graphics capabilities supporting 3D, 2D, and display capabilities. The ICH7 is a centralized controller for the board's I/O paths. The chipset supports the following features: • Onboard graphics • Dynamic Video Memory Technology • USB • Serial ATA For information about The Intel G41 Express chipset Resources used by the chipset Refer to http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/index.htm Chapter 2 1.6.1 Intel G41 Graphics Subsystem The Intel G41 Express chipset contains two separate graphics options. Either the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 (Intel GMA X4500) graphics controller (contained within the 82G41 GMCH) is used, or a PCI graphics card can be used. When a PCI graphics card is installed, the Intel GMA X4500 graphics controller defaults to a secondary display device and may be available for video output with the operating system. 1.6.1.1 Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 Graphics Controller The Intel GMA X4500 graphics controller features the following: • High quality texture engine ⎯ DirectX10* and OpenGL* 2.0 compliant ⎯ Shader Model 4.0 • 3D Graphics Rendering enhancements ⎯ 1.6 dual texture GigaPixel/s maximum fill rate ⎯ 16-bit and 32-bit color ⎯ Vertex cache • Video ⎯ High Definition content at up to 1080p resolution ⎯ Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) 5.0 uses system memory based on the operating system and the amount of memory installed 19

1.6.1
Intel G41 Graphics Subsystem
The Intel G41 Express chipset contains two separate graphics options.
Either the Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 (Intel GMA X4500) graphics controller (contained
within the 82G41 GMCH) is used, or a PCI graphics card can be used.
When a PCI
graphics card is installed, the Intel GMA X4500 graphics controller defaults to a
secondary display device and may be available for video output with the operating
system.
