    I'm trying to configure a 8440p at hp direct, but how do I check that it has dedicated graphics? I don't see that option, I do see 3 different base units named:

    HP RCTO UMA f/Mdm noFPR 8440p Base NB PC
    HP RCTO UMA f/Mdm 8440p ROW Base NB PC
    HP RCTO DSC f/Mdm 8440p ROW Base NB PC

    What the difference between these?

    Thanks

    Unified Memory Architecture, a computer memory architecture that allows the graphics processing unit to share system memory

    So the two first ones marked as UMA have integrated GPU.
    Last one, DSC means discrete/dedicated GPU.
