Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 Overview
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900 is a new graphics core that was first introduced with the Intel® 915 Express Chipset Family. This new graphics core is also featured in the Intel® 910GL Express Chipset Family and the Mobile Intel® 915 Express Chipset Family. This third-generation architecture supports the latest LCD and widescreen displays, High-Definition TV (HDTV) and dynamic modes, and hardware acceleration for Microsoft* DirectX* 9.
Optimal Use of System Resources
Intel® Graphics require dedicated memory and processing, and applications have divergent memory needs. Some applications, such as e-mail and Internet browsing, require very little graphics memory. Others, such as games, require more. Intel GMA 900 graphics supports both of these demand levels through a unique intelligent memory management scheme called Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). DVMT handles these diverse applications by providing the maximum availability of system memory for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics memory when a 3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA 900 graphics architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel processor installed in your system.
Advanced Display Technology
Intel GMA 900 graphics supports Dual Independent Display technology. This capability allows two separate displays to be connected to the system at the same time. One way to use this capability is to create a larger desktop work surface spanning multiple displays. Applications can be moved from one monitor to another, or can be displayed on more than one monitor simultaneously. Another example of this feature is playing digital media on one display, while using chat or e-mail on the other.
