Intel
Cantiga (GM45) with Chipset Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
The (G)MCH manages the flow of information between various components through four main
interfaces:
•
Front Side Bus (FSB)
•
System Memory Interface (DDR2)
•
Graphics Interfaces (CRT, TV-Out, LVDS, SDVO, Display Port, iHDMI* (DVI also) and PCI
Express Graphics)
•
Direct Management Interface (DMI)
