Overview
An AGP Digital Display (ADD) card is an adapter card that can be inserted into the AGP port of Intel® 845G chipset family-based systems. ADD cards allow configurations for TV-out, LVDS, and TMDS output (i.e. televisions and digital displays/flat panels). Combined with an Intel® Extreme Graphics Driver, ADD cards can be used to display system output to a television, digital display, or simultaneously to a monitor and digital display. Simultaneous display between a monitor and television is not supported.

Compatibility ADD cards with DVI support flat panel displays and some High Definition TVs with DVI ADD cards with TV-out support standard definition in both NTSC and PAL formats ADD cards are compatible only with systems containing the Intel 845G chipset family and an AGP slot. ADD cards inserted into other AGP compliant systems (e.g. Intel® 815 chipset) will fail to load. Support Unless purchased with an Intel® Desktop Board, technical support for ADD card hardware should be directed to the original manufacturer of the card. If the issue appears to be with the graphics driver software, Email Support is offered directly by Intel.
