Advanced DRAM Configuration This item allows you to adjust advanced DRAM configuration. The default value is [Auto]. Configuration options: [Auto] and [Manual]. Primary Graphics Adapter This item shows the primary graphics adapter. The default value is [PCI]. Configuration options: [Onboard], [PCI] and [PCI Express]. Internal Graphics Mode Select If you select [Auto], the onboard VGA will be automatically disabled when you install VGA card; the onboard VGA will be enabled without the installation of any add-on VGA card. If you select [Enabled, 8MB] or [Enabled, 1MB], the onboard VGA will be enabled. DVMT Mode Select Use this option to adjust DVMT mode. Configuration options: [Fixed Mode], [DVMT Mode] and [Fixed+DVMT Mode]. The default value is [DVMT Mode]. DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) is an architecture that offers breakthrough performance for the motherboard through efficient memory utilization. In Fixed mode, a fixed-size fragment of the system memory is allocated to the graphics core. In DVMT mode, the graphics driver allocates memory as needed for running graphics applications and is cooperatively using this memory with other system components. In Fixed+DVMT mode, the graphics processor gets a fixed-size chunk of 64MB of memory and up to 64MB of dynamically-allotted memory. This mode guarantees that at least 64MB of memory is available to the graphics core, with a possibility to increase this amount to 128MB, if necessary. This item will not be used under Windows® VistaTM OS because the driver will intelligently detect physical memory available and allocate necessary video memory. DVMT/FIXED Memory You are allowed to adjust the shared memory size in this item if you set DVMT Mode Select as [DVMT Mode]. Configuration options: [64MB], [128MB] and [Maximum DVMT]. Onboard HD Audio Select [Auto], [Enabled] or [Disabled] for the onboard HD Audio feature. If you select [Auto], the onboard HD Audio will be disabled when PCI Sound Card is plugged. Front Panel Select [Auto], [Enabled] or [Disabled] for the onboard HD Audio Front Panel. CD-In Use this item to enable or disable CD-In of Onboard HD Audio. If you plan to use this motherboard to submit Windows® VistaTM logo test, please disable this option. 28
