If the user presses the power button on the control panel, HP Off (under

Windows 95) first checks if there are any unsaved files. If there are, it offers

three choices: yes (to saving the unsaved changes, followed by shutdown),

no (to saving the unsaved changes, but shutdown anyway), and cancel (to

return to normal operation).

New Architecture: UMA / SFB

New Architecture: UMA / SFB

Key Points • DRAM is shared between Video RAM and System RAM.

• There is no dedicated video RAM on the system board.

• A portion of the main memory is used as frame buffer (video memory). It

is non-trivial to determine exactly into which physical memory chips the

BIOS will place the video memory (that is, where it will be position in the

memory map).

• The size of the video memory is configured by software only. There

is no specific video memory upgrade to add.

• Increasing the amount of video memory causes the amount of main

memory available for system use to be reduced:

• The default setting is for 1 MB video memory. This can be increased to

2MB.

• If an external video board is present, with its own video memory, the full

amount of main memory is allocated for use as system memory.

Configuring the Video Memory Size

Windows 95 only The following illustration depicts the control display that allows the amount

of video memory to be changed.

1In the “Control Panel”

2Select “Display”

3Select “HP Dynamic Video”

The HP Vectra VE 5/xxx series 3 PC does not have dedicated video

memory. It has a Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) and uses a Shared

Frame Buffer (SFB). The SiS 6205 video controller uses a reserved portion

of the main memory.

SystemMemory = MainMemory - VideoMemory
