Description
ADD Card
Advanced Digital Display Card. Provides digital display options for an Intel
Graphics Controller that supports ADD cards (have DVOs multiplexed with
AGP interface). Keyed like an AGP 4x card and plugs into an AGP connector.
Will not work with an Intel Graphics Controller that implementsIntel®
SDVO.
Advanced Digital Display Card – 2nd Generation. Provides digital display
options for an Intel graphics controller that supports ADD2 cards. Plugs into
an x16 PCI Express* connector but utilizes the multiplexed SDVO interface.
Will not work with an Intel Graphics Controller that supports Intel® DVO and
ADD cards.
ADD2 Card
Media
Media Expansion Card –. Provides digital display options for an Intel
Graphics Controller that supports MEC cards. Plugs into an x16 PCI Express
connector but utilizes the multiplexed SDVO interface. Adds Video In
capabilities to platform. Will not work with an Intel Graphics Controller that
supports DVO and ADD cards. Will function as an ADD2 card in an ADD2
supported system, but Video In capabilities will not work.

Full Reset
Full reset is when PWROK is de-asserted. Warm reset is when both RSTIN#
and PWROK are asserted.
GMCH
Graphics Memory Controller Hub component that contains the processor
interface, DRAM controller, and x16 PCI Express port (typically the external
graphics interface). It communicates with the I/O controller hub (Intel®
ICH8*) over the DMI interconnect. Throughout this document, GMCH
refers to the G35 GMCH, unless otherwise specified.
HDMI
High Definition Multimedia Interface – HDMI supports standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It
transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,
with bandwidth to spare for future requirements and enhancements
