1.8.1.1 Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)
DVMT enables enhanced graphics and memory performance through Direct AGP, and highly
efficient memory utilization. DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available system memory (up
to 64 MB) for maximum 2-D/3-D graphics performance.
DVMT uses a portion of system physical memory (as set in the BIOS Setup program) for
compatibility with legacy applications. An example of this would be when using VGA graphics
under DOS. Once loaded, the operating system and graphics drivers allocate the buffers needed for
performing graphics functions.
✏
NOTE
The use of DVMT requires operating system driver support.
