all-in-one PCs to portable systems.
Dual independent display for
processors with Intel® HD Graphics
The Intel Desktop Board DH61DL is
equipped with DVI-D and VGA ports to
support flexible, dual independent display
for processors with Intel® HD Graphics.
Powered by the 2nd generation Intel Core
processors with Intel HD Graphics, the
Intel Desktop Board DH61DL delivers su-
perb visual performance for sharper
images, richer color, and lifelike video.
The Intel Desktop Board DH61DL is designed
to support a wide range of memory voltage
from 1.2 V to 1.8 V to maximize memory
DIMM compatibility.
Two back panel SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports
address the needs of higher performance
connections between the PC and increasingly
sophisticated peripherals by offering a
higher transfer rate of 5.0 Gb/s.
Legacy features such as PCI connectors,
a parallel port, and a PS/2 port are also
supported for backward compatibility
with peripherals.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 requires a PC with a processor
with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 capability. Intel Turbo
Boost Technology 2.0 performance varies depending on
hardware, software, and overall system configuration. Check
with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers
Intel Turbo Boost Technology. See www.intel.com/technology/
turboboost for more information.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system
with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology-
enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will
vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use.
See www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading for more information.
Intel® High Definition Audio requires a system with an appropriate
Intel® chipset and a motherboard with an appropriate codec and
the necessary drivers installed. System sound quality will vary
depending on actual implementation, controller, codec, drivers,
and speakers. For more information about Intel® HD Audio, refer
to www.intel.com/design/chipsets/hdaudio.htm
The Intel® Core Utilities bundle includes Intel® Integrator Assistant,
Intel® Integrator Toolkit, Intel® Express Installer and Intel®
Express Bios Update.

System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*)
require physical memory address locations that can reduce avail-
able addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction
of as much as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being
available to the operating system and applications, depending on
the system configuration and operating system.
64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer
system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device
drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture.
Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without
an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary
depending on your hardware and software configurations. See
http://developer.intel.com/technology/intel64/index.htm for
more information.
