! DVMT Mode Select: Available settings are “DVMT Mode” (default), “Fixed
Mode”, and “Combo Mode”.
– DVMT Mode: the 945GME will dynamically allocate system memory as
graphics memory when graphics-intensive applications are running. How-
ever, when the need for graphics memory drops, the allocated graphics
memory can be released to the operating system for other uses.
– Fixed Mode: Unlike the DVMT mode, the graphics driver will reserve a fixed
portion of the system memory as graphics memory.
– Combo Mode: the graphics driver will allocate a minimum fixed amount of
memory as dedicated graphics memory, as well as allow more system mem-
ory to be dynamically allocated between the graphics processor and the
operating system.
! DVMT/Fixed Memory: Available only to “DVMT Mode and Fixed Mode”. Set-
tings are “128 MB” (default), “64 MB”, and “Maximum DVMT”.
! Boot Display Device: Available settings are “Auto” (default), “CRT”, “DVI1”,
and “CRT and DVI1”.
