Graphics


Parallel processing technology support

Parallel processing technology is the simultaneous use of more than one CPU or processor core to execute a program or multiple computational threads. Ideally, parallel processing makes programs run faster because there are more engines (CPUs or Cores) running it. In practice, it is often difficult to divide a program in such a way that separate CPUs or cores can execute different portions without interfering with each other. Most computers have just one CPU, but some models have several, and multi-core processor chips are becoming the norm. There are even computers with thousands of CPUs.

Not supported


On-board graphics card

Graphics hardware which is built into the motherboard or CPU, as opposed to a separate graphics adapter (video card). On-board graphics uses CPU and RAM for graphics processing.




Maximum resolution

The maximum number of pixels that can be displayed in the image. It is usually quoted as width - height,: for example, "1024 - 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels.
