Get more for your money

With the dramatic improvements in Intel Graphics and Intel® processors, it's no longer necessary for most users to buy expensive add-on graphics cards. Users can pocket the difference, or spend the extra money instead on system enhancements like a more powerful CPU.

Intel Graphics are an especially smart choice if you're looking for a value platform for Microsoft Windows Vista, because you get a great built-in graphics adapter capable of the full Microsoft Windows Vista experience.¹ Plus, this cost-effective solution is ideal if you're a mainstream PC user who needs broad, modern feature support.

Intel's solution allows the PC to connect to the latest digital display interfaces, including the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). HDMI carries uncompressed HD video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in a single cable.◊

Intel Graphics powers the next generation of PC display technology. When you buy a PC with Intel Graphics, you get a cost-effective solution with the performance you need

Energize your gaming sessions

Make the leap into compelling game realism and life-like effects, enabling a cost-effective PC solution with built-in Intel Graphics.

Intel Graphics supports the latest Microsoft DirectX* and 3D features such as Microsoft Shader Model 3.0* to enable stunning visual effects in games, such as object deformation, motion blurs, and complex animations with realistic shading, lighting, and textures.³

These 3D features are supported by the latest Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (Intel® GMA) software drivers.

Invigorate your video

High-definition video has revolutionized entertainment, and you shouldn't have to settle for playback that looks less than stunning. Intel® Clear Video Technology, a suite of video enhancements built into Intel Graphics available on select chipsets², means you don't have to.

Intel Clear Video Technology brings you enhanced video playback, sharper images, precise color control, and advanced support for the latest HD displays. This outstanding video experience is available without an add-in video card.

Intel Graphics: Making the Most of Your Visual Experience

Get stunning visual results from your mobile or desktop PC with Intel Graphics, including the full Microsoft Windows Vista* experience¹, beautiful video playback, and excellent mainstream gaming performance.

Intel Graphics are built right onto your PC's motherboard, so you get excellent speed and functionality at low cost, compared to typical add-in graphics cards.

You want rich, vibrant color. You want smooth, crisp images. You want to play high-definition content at full resolution. You want cool realism when you play games on Microsoft Windows Vista.

Thanks to Intel Graphics, that's not a problem. Whether you're shopping for a new notebook, a desktop PC, or a motherboard for a build-it-yourself system, make sure your PC integrates Intel Graphics.

¹ System performance, battery life, power savings, high-definition quality, video playback, wireless performance, and functionality will vary depending on your specific operating system, hardware, chipset, connection rate, site conditions, and software configurations. References to enhanced performance including wireless refer to comparisons with previous generation Intel technologies. Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to purchase additional software, services or external hardware. Availability of public wireless LAN access points is limited. Wireless functionality may vary by country and some hotspots may not support Linux-based Intel® Centrino® processor technology systems. See www.intel.com/products/centrino/index.htm and www.intel.com/performance/mobile/benchmarks.htm for more information on performance, wireless, power savings and energy efficiency.

² Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. With regard to notebooks, Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt/.

³ No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology requires a computer system with Intel® Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules and an Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition, Intel TXT requires the system to contain a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing Group, and specific software for some uses. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/security.

φ Energy Star* denotes a system level energy specification, defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency, that relies upon all of the system's components, including processor, chipset, power supply, HDD, graphics controller and memory to meet the specification. For more information, see
