Intel 3D with Direct AGP—Basic 2D and 3D acceleration.
Intel Extreme Graphics—Supports alpha blending, fog, anisotropic filtering, hardware motion compensation, and
advanced textures.
Intel Extreme Graphics 2—Enhanced version of original Extreme Graphics, adding better memory management, zone
rendering, and faster pixel and texturing rendering.
Intel Extreme Graphics 3—Enhanced version of Extreme Graphics 2, adding support for most DirectX 9 features (does
not support vertex shaders) and optional dual-display support.
Besides Intel, other major vendors of integrated chipsets include NVIDIA, VIA, ATI, and Acer Labs.
Table 15.9 compares the video features of major integrated chipsets from these vendors.
