Intel G33 Graphics Subsystem
The Intel G33 Express Chipset contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics
options. Either the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 (Intel
®
GMA 3100) graphics controller is used or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used.
When a PCI Express x16 add-in card is installed, the Intel GMA 3100 graphics
controller is disabled.
