Limitations and Additional Information

Graphics Controllers

An AGP graphic card cannot be used simultaneously with the integrated graphics of the chipset. When the AGP slot is used for an AGP card, the Integrated Graphic controller of the chipset will be automatically disabled. This means that when dual VGA support is required, a PCI graphic card is mandatory. This PCI graphic card can then be used in combination with an AGP card in the AGP slot, or with the integrated graphic controller of the chipset. Following the above, when two graphic systems are used on the system (e.g. PCI and AGP, or PCI and Integrated Graphics), the user needs to identify in the BIOS Setup program which graphics system should be used during startup. The 2D and 3D performance of the integrated graphics controller can be improved by adding a 4MB memory extension module in the AGP slot. Alternatively, a high performance AGP dual head graphics card, such as the HP Matrox G450, can be used to greatly improve 2D and 3D performance.

Connecting IDE Devices

It is recommended that you connect hard drives to the primary IDE channel (master and slave HDD). Optical devices such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, and CD-RW drives should be connected to the secondary IDE channel. This ensures optimal hard drive performance.
Connecting Keyboard, Mouse and Other Devices to the PS/2 Ports
Keyboards attached to the PS/2 keyboard connector should not draw an excessive current. The keyboard port is designed for devices that draw a normal amount of current for standard keyboards. For this reason, you should connect any special devices that use a PS/2 port to the mouse port and not the keyboard port (for example, a parallel-to-LAN converter that uses a PS/2 port for power). Special keyboards with two PS/2 connectors, such as those with a built-in track-ball mouse, are not supported.

Speed limitations for each processor are listed in the Technical Reference Manual - Introduction & HP PC Product Line Overview. NOTE The Processor-Local (PL) bus of Socket 370 Celeron and Socket 370 Pentium III processors, also referred to as their FSB (Front Side Bus), is implemented in GTL+ technology. This technology features open-drain signal drivers that are pulled-up to 1.5 V through 56 ohm resistors on the bus, acting as bus terminators. The supported operating frequencies of the GTL+ bus are 66, 100 or 133 MHz. The width of the data bus is 64 bits, the width of the address is 32 bits. The control signals of the PL bus allows the implementation of a split -transaction bus protocol. This allows the processor to send its request (such as asking for the contents of a given memory address) and then to release the bus, rather than waiting for the result, thereby allowing the bus to accept another request. The target device (PCI AGP controller chip) then requests the bus again when it is ready to respond, and sends the requested data packet. Up to four transactions can be outstanding at any given time. For Socket 478 Pentium 4 processors, the processor system bus uses a variant of GTL+ signalling technology called Assisted Gunning Transceiver Logic (AGTL+) signal technology.

CD-RW Drives

CD-RW Technology
CD-RW drives use a technology known as optical phase-change. It does not use magnetic fields like the phase-change technology used with magneto-optical technology. The media are generally distinguishable from CD-R discs by their metallic grey color. The basic structure of the discs, however, is the same as a CD-R disc but with significant detail differences. A CD-RW disc's phase-change medium consists of a polycarbonate substrate, moulded with a spiral groove for servo guidance, absolute time information and other data, on to which a stack (usually five layers) is deposited. The recording layer is sandwiched between dielectric layers that draw excess heat from the phase-change layer during the writing process. In place of the dye-based recording layer on a CD-R disc, CD-RW commonly uses a crystalline compound made up of a mix of silver, indium, antimony and tellurium. This mix, when heated to a certain temperature and then cooled becomes crystalline, but if heated to a higher temperature it becomes amorphous when it cools down again. The crystalline areas allow the metallized layer to reflect the laser light better while the non-crystalline portion absorbs the laser beam, and is therefore not reflected. CD-RW devices use three different laser powers to achieve these effects in the recording layer:
the highest, called 'Write Power', creates a non-crystalline (absorptive) state on the recording layer the medium, 'Erase Power', melts the recording layer and converts it to a reflective crystalline state the lowest, 'Read Power', does not alter the state of the recording layer, so it can be used for reading the data.

Vibrant Color Quality (VCQ) Rendering
The VCQ rendering engine in the Matrox G400 was designed to ensure that multi-textured applications are rendered with the same Vibrant Color Quality achieved with single texturing on the MGA-G200. Multi-texturing requires the combination or blending of many textures onto a single polygon. Without proper care, precision can be lost on each texture pass and the resulting image suffers from cumulative rounding errors and ugly dither patterns. The VCQ engine addresses this issue with increased precision and buffering throughout all of the internal 3D pipelines.
Symmetric Rendering Architecture (SRA)
Similar to the MGA-G200, the Matrox G400 uses a Symmetric Rendering Architecture (SRA) to take advantage of the high bandwidth made available by the AGP 4X bus. Within the SRA, the Matrox G400 treats AGP memory exactly as if it were local video memory, meaning that in a fully bus mastered fashion, the Matrox G400 can draw to, render to and read from AGP memory at AGP 4X transfer rates. By using the SRA as a key component of 3D, 2D and video operations, the Matrox G400 benefits from the 1GB/s bandwidth provided by the AGP 4X bus in parallel with local video memory to achieve an optimal performance level in all application areas. To alleviate some of the drain on local memory, the SRA uses a hierarchical texturing system which stores textured and bitmapped surfaces across three levels: the large on-chip cache, local video memory of 32MB (16MB on dual head models) and AGP memory. Within the hierarchical texturing system, small and frequently used textures are usually mapped from local memory while large and infrequently used textures are mapped using AGP texturing from AGP memory. Supported by the chip's intelligent memory controller and the driver's intelligent memory management and allocation scheme, the hierarchical texturing system ensures that available memory resources are maximized and used with utmost efficiency. In addition, the SRA is designed to take advantage of the local video memory pool of 32MB, meaning that users benefit from high resolution triple buffering and extra texture storage. Two-dimensional bitmaps benefit from the SRA in the same way that 3D textures do. In addition, the Matrox G400 expands the amount of fast access memory available for bandwidthintensive video compression and decompression operations by writing to AGP memory at AGP 4X speeds.

DualHead Display

DualHead Display is a new technology in the Matrox G400 which allows a single chip to ouput two physically separate images simultaneously to two different output devices. The DualHead Display is quite versatile in its ability to support simultaneous output either to two RGB monitors, to an RGB monitor and a television set, to an RGB monitor and a Digital Flat Panel or to two analog Flat Panels. DualHead Display takes advantage of a new Windows 98 feature which allows a single board to support a Windows desktop spanning multiple monitors. In addition, DualHead Display offers enhanced performance for DVD viewing, design applications, video editing, and web browsing. The dual head version with 16MB of memory is used on some VL400 PCs.

Integration of memory controller and graphics capability (Direct AGP). Advanced dynamic memory utilization (DVMT).

Direct AGP

Rather than simply combining two semiconductor cell libraries for component reduction, both the Intel 810E and Intel 815 chipsets graphics controller combine the 2D and 3D video capabilities with the memory control unit. This functional overlap within the Graphics and Memory Controller enables Direct AGP. Direct AGP provides an integrated graphics part with the capability to make direct memory set-up calls (similar to those associated with the standard AGP protocol) to system memory. Direct AGP calls can allocate and de-allocate system memory dynamically for complex 3D textures, preserving the benefits of standard AGP add-in solutions.
Dynamic Video Memory Technology
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) enables high graphics and memory performance through Direct AGP and highly efficient memory use. DVMT ensures the most efficient use of all available memory regardless the size of the main memory for maximum 3D graphics performance. During startup, memory is allocated for graphics dynamically depending on the PCs configuration. DVMT only uses 1MB from the system's physical memory. This 1MB is required for legacy VGA graphics support and compatibility. Upon boot the BIOS allocates 1MB out of main memory for VGA graphics. An example of when VGA graphics memory is needed would be running under DOS when there is no driver loaded. Once the operating system boots this 1MB is not seen and is not visible by the operating system. DVMT is highly scalable as additional memory is added to the system, more memory will be available to enhance 3D applications. DVMT works dynamically and modulates the bandwidth available to the CPU, graphics and I/O interface, through the intelligent arbitration built into the Intel 815 family. This hard-coded logic evaluates the operating environment and prioritizes traffic to maximize bandwidth for memory intense multimedia applications.
Memory Usage with Dynamic Video Memory Technology
The operating system requires allocation of up to 1MB of system memory to support legacy VGA. System properties will display up to 1MB less than physical system memory available to the operating system. The graphics driver for both the Intel 810E and Intel 815 chipsets request up to 4MB of memory from the OS to implement a maximum 1024 x768 screen resolution, 2MB for a command buffer and 4MB used for z-buffering. For high-end 3D applications, the driver requests allocation of system memory from the OS for graphics textures. When the 3D application is closed, the OS will reallocate system memory back for generic use.
