In addition, the device can be augmented with ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics for a dual-graphics performance preview, or upgraded to a gaming powerhouse with HD 5870 Graphics and the visual realism of DirectX 11.
With integrated ATI Radeon HD 4290 Graphics, users can enjoy accelerated and leveraged high-definition and 1080p Blu-ray playback including dual-stream Picture in Picture on Blu-ray 1.1. In fact, standard DVD movies can now be viewed in near high-definition quality with DVD upscaling with post-processing, bringing forth enhanced standard and low resolution videos and movies on HD displays.
Further, the latest device from AMD supports the SATA 3.0 6Gbps hard drive interface to help speed application performance, eliminate boot times, and proffer speedy access to information, HD videos, photos and more. It also encompasses support for Gigabit Ethernet, HyperTransport 3.0 technology, and PCI express Generation 2.0 for speedy data flow, resulting in speedier transfers of work, games, and entertainment files.
