XPC C3

The MusicXPC C3 has a VGA port built into the motherboard and integrates Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 technology. This port will deliver sharp graphics output to VGA monitors up to 1792 x 1344 resolution.

Intel Extreme Graphics 2

Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 is an integrated graphics technologies that delivers 3D graphics with sharp images, fast rendering, smooth motion and extreme detail.

Intel Extreme Graphics 2 supports the latest 2D and 3D APIs, delivering real-life environment and character effects. A 256-bit internal path enables up to four textures per pixel on a single pass for super light maps, atmospheric effects, and more realistic surface details. Flexible display capabilities enhance the personal computing experience, offering significant benefits for applications requiring 32 bpp and higher display resolution.

Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Features
Features	Benefits
Enhanced Rapid Pixel and Texel Rendering	Optimized visual quality and performance from the addition of hardware to support of texel formatting, bicubic filter, color blending accuracy, and video mixing render, resulting in optimized visual quality and performance.
Zone Rendering 2 Technology	Enhances the performance of zone rendering by using larger zones and new commands that improve graphics pipeline efficiency.
Dynamic Video Memory Technology v2.0	Increases total system performance by optimizing the efficiency of AGP dynamic video memory by increasing its size of Video RAM allocation to 96 MB.
Enhanced Intelligent Memory Management	Improves memory bandwidth efficiency and platform performance by improving the memory management arbitration between CPU, system memory and graphics memory.

8x AGP

8x AGP: Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) was developed by Intel in 1996 as a way to enhance the performance and speed of the graphics card connected to a PC. 8x AGP is the specification for the next-generation AGP interface. Like 4x AGP, it implements a 32-bit wide bus, but the new specification allows a doubling of speed to 533 MHz and supports a data rate of 2,133 MB/s. 8x AGP, enable users to enjoy great graphical experience, especially in video heavy applications.

MODE	CLOCK RATE	TRANSFER RATE
AGP 1X	66 MHz	266 MB/sec
AGP 2X	133 MHz	533 MB/sec
AGP 4X	266 MHz	1,066 MB/sec
AGP 8X	533 MHz	2,133 MB/sec
