Graphic subsystem video card memory 01
Graphics memory is shared with system memory. Graphics memory usage varies depending on the amount of system memory installed, BIOS settings, operating system, and system load. 32 MB is pre-allocated for graphics use at system boot time. Additional memory can be allocated at boot time by the BIOS for PAVP (Protected Audio Video Playback) support for playback of protected video content. For Vista, use of PAVP heavy mode pre-allocates an additional 96MB. Additional memory is allocated for graphics as needed using Intel's Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), to provide an optimal balance between graphics and system memory use.
