For more information about DirectX, refer to http://www.microsoft.com/directx.

However, you can manually modify the settings for a particular application. To enable or disable AMD Crossfire™, select or deselect the check box in the AMD Crossfire™ section, which is located in the Performance tab in the Catalyst Control Center. NOTE: For more information, refer to the AMD software Help.

Smart Connect then updates the content for certain open applications and reinitiates Sleep. As a result, your work is immediately available to you as soon as you exit Sleep. You do not have to wait while updates are downloaded and installed. ▲ To open Intel Smart Connect to disable this feature or manually adjust the settings, select Start > All Programs > Intel >Intel Smart Connect Technology.
