BIOS Setup DVMT Mode Select Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) allows the system to dynamically allocate memory resources according to the demands of the system at any point in time. The key idea in DVMT is to improve the efficiency of the memory allocated to either system or graphics processor. It is recommended that you set this BIOS feature to DVMT Mode for maximum performance. Setting it to DVMT Mode ensures that system memory is dynamically allocated for optimal balance between graphics and system performance. DVMT/FIXED Memory W hen set to DVMT/FIXED Mode, the graphics driver will allocate a fixed amount of memory as dedicated graphics memory, as well as allow more system memory to be dynamically allocated between the graphics processor and the operating system. PAVP M ode This setting enables/disables the Protected Audio/Video Path (PAVP) mode. Boot Display Device Use the field to select the type of device you want to use as the display(s) of the system. Flat Panel Type This setting allows you to set your preferences for the boot display device. South Bridge Configuration 3-23
