Integrated Graphics Subsystem

6.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the graphics subsystem that is integrated into the Intel Pentium Dual-Core

G6950, Core i3, and select Core i5 processors. This graphics subsystem employs the use of

system memory to provide efficient, economical 2D and 3D performance.

All systems provide dual-monitor support in the standard configuration. These systems can be

upgraded by installing a PCIe x16 graphics card in the PCIe x16 graphics slot, which disables the

integrated graphics controller

This chapter covers the following subjects:

■ Functional description (6.2)

■ Upgrading (6.3)

■ Monitor connectors (6.4)

Systems shipped with the Intel Core i5-750 or Core i7 processors require a separate PCI graphics

adapter card. This adapter is not discribed in this guide.
