2.7. Chipset
The BBPCHOME supports the Intel 845GV chipset is designed for
use in a desktop system based on an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in
a 478-pin package. The Intel 845GV chipset supports the Pentium 4
processor with 256-KB L2 cache and the Pentium 4 processor with
512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process. The processor interface
supports the Pentium 4 processor subset of the Extended Mode of
the Scalable Bus Protocol. In an Intel 845GV chipset-based platform,
I/O functions are integrated onto the ICH4.
The GMCH provides the processor interface, system memory
interface, hub interface, and additional interface in an Intel 845GV
chipset desktop platform. Each GMCH contains an integrated
graphics controller (IGD). Intel 845GV chipset use the 82801DB
ICH4 for the I/O Controller Hub.
