AMD Start Now technology is a BIOS optimized solution designed to deliver a highly responsive system by minimizing the time to wake up the system from sleep mode, boot the system to desktop and connect to a wireless local area network. Actual times will vary based on operating system, APU,
driver, disk drive and memory speed. AMD Start Now technology is available with select AMD APUs when running Windows® 7 or Windows® 8. Check with your component or system manufacturer or retailer for specific model capabilities.
***AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics requires an AMD “A” Series APU plus an AMD Radeon™ discrete graphics configuration and is available on Windows® 7 and/or Windows 8 OS. Linux OS supports manual switching which requires restart of X-Server to engage and/or disengage the discrete graphics
processor for dual graphics capabilities. With AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics, full enablement of all discrete graphics video and display features may not be supported on all systems and may depend on the master device to which the display is connected. AMD Radeon™ “G” series and AMD
Radeon™ “G2” Dual Graphics series don not support AMD Eyefinity technology. Check with your component or system manufacturer for specific mode capabilities and supported technologies.
