Protective coating.IGC (Integrated Graphics Controller) The inclusion of the video display circuitry on the motherboard. An IGC is typically contained in the chipset, such as the Northbridge. See integrated graphics and IGP. IGC - Institute for Global Communications Technologies, Inc., introduced its Dura-Kote protective coating, a proprietary blend of materials that places a super hard finish to the high wear areas of tooling, increasing its wear life by two to three times that of chrome (jargon) chrome - (From automotive slang via wargaming) Showy features added to attract users but contributing little or nothing to the power of a system. "The 3D icons in Motif are just chrome, but they certainly are *pretty* chrome!" or nickel nickel, metallic chemical element; symbol Ni; at. no. 28; at. wt. 58.69; m.p. about 1,453°C;; b.p. about 2,732°C;; sp. gr. 8.902 at 25°C;; valence 0, +1, +2, +3, or +4. plating. This coating has been proven to deliver over 80,000 cycles beyond the normal wear of some tooling used today. The coating can also be applied at a greater thickness than chrome or nickel plating, further protecting abrasion abrasion /abra·sion/ (ah-bra´zhun) 1. a rubbing or scraping off through unusual or abnormal action; see also planing. 2. a rubbed or scraped area on skin or mucous membrane. areas.--IGC Technologies, Inc.
