Intel G35 Graphics Subsystem

The Intel G35 Express chipset contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics
options. Either the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3500 (Intel GMA X3500)
graphics controller (contained within the 82G35 GMCH) is used, or a PCI Express x16
add-in card can be used. When a PCI Express x16 add-in card is installed, the Intel
GMA X3500 graphics controller is disabled.
