Lenovo Graphic Adapters
• It helps users make the most of Windows Vista – the first Windows OS that can harness the power of an available graphics
processor to give a premium 3D user experience via the Windows Vista Aero interface.
• It can improve productivity by enabling connection of multiple monitors to the same PC. More data can be viewed across
screens and faster access to multiple open windows is possible.
• It allows the system processor to concentrate on non-graphic tasks, making applications run faster.
• A TV-Out feature permits, for example, video to be edited at a user's PC with the resulting out put being viewed on a TV.
• It enables connectivity to high-definition monitors, projectors and TVs.
• Improved display performance through better colour fidelity and smoother video playback make a graphic adapter the
answer for users working on graphic-intensive tasks, such as desk top publishing, animation, video editing and image
processing, as well as scientific, mapping and engineering (eg. CAD/CAM) applications.

* The DVI-I Video Connection Adapter is not a proper graphic adapter, since it uses the on-board (integrated) video subsystem. However,
it is the simplest way to support a second monitor on desktop systems.
* USFF is not customer installable
