Abstract
A circuit board socket is provided which is adapted to accept a plug-in single video controller having embedded video memory. The socket allows a circuit board to be easily wired to accommodate different, replaceable embedded memory video controller chips. The socket allows power to be separately supplied from the circuit board via terminals to various portions, including an embedded video memory, of the single-chip video controller. The socket is preferably compliant with AGP and VIP standards.
