Intel releases a new version of their Graphics Media Accelerator display driver, the 8.14.8.1073.

The Intel GMA driver is intended for some of the Atom-powered boards and is being released for Windows Vista and 7 32-bit versions, only. The 8.14.8.1073 GMA driver supports 5 Intel boards:

Intel Desktop Board D2500CC Intel Desktop Board D2500HN Intel Desktop Board D2700DC Intel Desktop Board D2700MUD Intel Desktop Board DN2800MT

As their very name already says, these 5 motherboards are powered by three different CPUs from the Atom family: the D2500, D2700 and the D2800. All the boards supported by the new GMA driver sport passive cooling given their small form factor (mini-ITX/ micro-ATX) and can run with as much as 4 GB DDR3 single-channel memory spread over 2 slots.

Users also get 6 or 8-channel Intel HD Audio capabilities and USB 2.0 ports, complemented by SATA 3.0 Gb/S connectors. The higher series models also boast a convenient HDMI port for extra multimedia performance.
