Platforms based on the Intel® 945G/945GM Express Chipset and above, when configured with memory devices of adequate amount and speed, meet all current requirements for the Windows Vista* Premium OS system logo. DirectX* 10 and Shader Model 4.0 software driver support expected in Q1 2008. Hardware T&L and Shader Model 3.0 software driver support expected in August 2007. Intel® Clear Video Technology, including improved video playback and quality are available only on the Intel® G965, G33, and G35 Express Chipsets, and the Mobile Intel® GM965 and GL960 Express Chipsets. HW accelerated MPEG-2 VLD not currently supported on Windows Vista* due to OS issue (to be resolved in Vista* SP1). HW accelerated WMV9b/VC-1 not supported on Windows Vista* until August 2007. HD-DVD or Blu-ray disc media playback requires the use of a third-party decoder card and appropriate software drivers. Ability to play back AVC/H2.64 content is dependent on system configuration, content bitrate and resolution. TV Wizard utility is available through a software graphics driver which is available for download at www.support.intel.com. Requires SDVO card. Copyright © 2007 Intel Corporation.
