• Supports a maximum allowable video frame buffer size of 32MB shared memory
• AGP 4X graphics (always enabled)
• Compliant with Rev 2.0 of AGP Interface

Flat Panel features:

• Supports (3.3V, 5V, or 12V) output to both DSTN and TFT flat panels through a 36-bit interface
• Supports TFT panel sizes from VGA (320x480) up to SXGA+ and UXGA+ (1400x1050).
• Supports LCD VGA and SVGA panels with 9-, 12-, 18-bit interface (1 Pixel/Clock)
• Supports UXGA and SXGA active matrix panels with 1x24-bit interface (2 Pixels/Clock)
