Memory
Computer memory (RAM) is installed into one 184-pin DIMM slot on the
motherboard. The interface supports PC-2700, unbuffered DDR SDRAM
modules, up to 1 Gbyte in size.
BIOS settings are stored in a 1 Mbyte flash memory chip. Its capabilities are similar
to that of an EEPROM, in that it can be erased and re-written, as well as hold its
content without power.
Display
Display capabilities are made possible due to the integrated Intel 855GME
GMCH that features a 360 MHz primary display RAMDAC, and a DVO port.
The DVO port connects to the Chrontel 7009 encoder which allows you to
connect external display interfaces, such as a second VGA or TV-Out or DVI
device.
The Intel 855GME GMCH uses up to 64 Mbytes of computer memory to store
display data.
The GMCH can output to two display devices simultaneously. This is made
possible by two independent CRT controllers. The CRT controller set as
display #1 enables the display device connected to analog VGA connector #1, and
the CRT controller set as display #2 enables the display #2 device connected to
the DVI connector. This feature allows you to extend your Windows Desktop so
that it spans across a second monitor.
MIL and MIL-Lite can use the second CRT controller to output an auxiliary
display to a second device

your operating system, and refer to the MIL/MIL-Lite documentation for informa-
tion on displaying images on an auxiliary device.
