Memory
Intel graphics do not have dedicated memory but utilizes some of the computer's system
memory The amount of memory used for graphics 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.
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.
Maximum Graphics Memory
Microsoft Windows XP Microsoft Windows 7
Up to 1GB Up to 1.7GB
NOTE: the actual amount of maximum graphics memory can be less than the amounts listed
above depending upon your computer's configuration.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Unit Environment and
Operating Conditions
General Unit Operating Guidelines
Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct moisture and the extremes of heat and
cold, to ensure that unit is operated within the specified operating range.
Leave a 4 in (10.2 cm) clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the required airflow.
Never restrict airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes.
Do not stack computers on top of each other or place computers so near each other that they are
subject to each other's re-circulated or preheated air.
Occasionally clean the air vents on the front, back, and any other vented side of the computer. Lint,
dust and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
If the computer is to be operated within a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be
provided on the enclosure, and the same operating guidelines listed above will still apply.
