Intel GMA 900

 

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel® GMA 900 graphics) can deliver over 1.5 times faster performance than previous Intel graphics.¹ It also features acceleration for Microsoft* DirectX* 9 for 3D performance.

The Intel® 915G Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) provides a variety of display interfaces. Intel GMA 900 graphics has an integrated DAC, two Intel® Serial Digital Video Out (SDVO) ports that can interface to DVI and LVDS transmitters, SD/HDTV-out encoders and additional DACs.

 

Intel GMA 900 graphics offers driver support for a variety of operating systems - Microsoft Windows* 2000, Windows* XP, Windows* XP Media Center Edition, Mandrake Linux*, Red Hat Linux*, SuSe Linux*, Red Flag Linux*, and IBM OS/2*.

Intel GMA 900 Graphics Subsystem

 

While the graphics subsystem for a discrete graphics device is mostly contained on a PCI, AGP, or PCI Express* Graphics card, the graphics subsystem in an integrated graphics solution, such as Intel GMA 900 graphics, uses the CPU, the GMCH, system memory, and different display interfaces. As a result, Intel GMA 900 graphics is designed to take full advantage of the power an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor brings to the PC. The CPU is used for the first stage of 3D processing (geometry operations), while the integrated graphics device handles the rest of the 3D processing.

 

Intel GMA 900 utilizes system memory for both system and graphics usage, balancing both usages for optimal performance.

3D Graphics Pipeline

 

Intel GMA 900 is the next step in the evolution of Intel graphics. In addition to running the graphics engine at 333 MHz, Intel GMA 900 has four pixel pipelines which provide a fill rate of 1.3 GP/s, enabling an excellent consumer gaming experience.

 

The 3D graphics pipeline is broken up into four major stages: geometry processing, setup (vertex processing), texture application and rasterization. Intel GMA 900 graphics is optimized by using current and future Intel® processor family for advance software based transform and lighting (geometry processing) as defined by Microsoft Direct X*. The other three stages of 3D processing are handled by Intel GMA 900.

Zone Rendering Technology 3 (ZRT3)

 

Zone Rendering Technology 3 (ZRT3) is a tile-based rendering system designed to reduce memory bandwidth consumption and maximize rendering performance.

 

ZRT3 aims to improve texture processing bandwidth by only performing texture processing on pixels that will be seen by the viewer (that are not hidden by other pixels). ZRT3 also strives to improve memory efficiency by reducing memory traffic and texture processing.

damn canucks.

 

just kidding. just a standard onboard video display.

 

go for an ati radeon 9550. that should be low cost enough and it should make you very happy.

well just to be correct you have to go through a router routers are everywhere you need to use a router to get anywhere on the web :king: but anyway them shots are looking like malware got into your webcache which is making all them site you are hitting look like that maybe have you ran spyware tools?

well I uninstalled the norton firewall and reinstalled it to see if that would solve the problem and it didnt...I installed the other firewall and disabled the norton one and it works fine...so I guess ima have to just disable the norton one and run the sunbelt one until I can talk my dad into removin the norton one...

I think Cheddar Bob is a cop..he's setting you up Casek, lol

 

 

did i ever tell you about the time

that one girl in the strip joint sat on

my lap? turns out she was wanting

my money. i offered a trade on account

of it being 1800's day ( i made that one up :p).

i used the excuse that i could only barter

with people and that i drove a hard-bargain.

 

anyhow, she finally agreed.

 

i ended up

in a bungalow, alone. i think i pee'd blood

for two weeks straight.

I think this whole thing is just a sad example of not keeping all your software up to date...somewhere, some program is running on an older version of something that requires a newer version...and thus programs aren't reading each other correctly...that's my guess

 

 

your guess is probably right.
