Intel740™ Graphics Accelerator 3 Device AGP System BIOS Design Guidelines
The Intel740 graphics controller down on the motherboard enters the low power mode at system
reset. If an enabling event occurs, the device enters the functional mode from the low power mode
(see Figure 4).
The following are examples in which functional mode would be invoked:
1. Intel740™ graphics accelerator as the primary and only graphics device
2. Multimonitor configurations utilizing the Intel740™ graphics controller
