A silicon chip of a monolithic construction for use in implementing a multiple core graphics processing and display subsystem in a computing system having a CPU, a system memory, an operating system, a CPU bus, and a display device with a display surface. A filter medium is positioned about the exterior of at least a portion of the base pipe. The switch may then inspect traffic received at the first and second interfaces, and determines, based on inspecting, whether to transparently forward the traffic between the first and second interfaces or to redirect the traffic to the web server. When the power semiconductor element is turned on, start up of the voltage is detected, and the control circuit switches the gate resistance from high resistance to low resistance after a prescribed time to suppress the surge voltage, and the switching loss is reduced.
