The GMCH component provides interfaces to the processor, memory, PCI Express, and

Intel G35 Graphics Subsystem
The Intel G35 Express Chipset contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics
options. Either the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3500 (GMA X3500)
graphics controller is used or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used.
The GMA X3500 graphics controller supports dual independent displays via the VGA
and DVI-D connectors on the Desktop Board back panel. When a PCI Express x16
add-in card is installed on the Desktop Board, the Intel GMA X3500 graphics controller
is disabled.
