Introduction

This chapter describes the integrated graphics processor (IGP) of the HP dc5850 Personal
Computer. This graphics subsystem employs the use of system memory to provide efficient,
economical 2D and 3D performance.
These systems provide dual-monitor support in the standard configuration and allow two
methods for upgrading the IGP:
■
Installing a PCIe x16 graphics card in the PCIe x16 graphics slot, which disables the IGP
■
Installing a PCIe x1 graphics card in a PCIe x1 slot, in which the IGP can be re-enabled
through the BIOS settings
This chapter covers the following subjects:
■
Functional description (6.2)
