for today’s and tomorrow’s business applications. The Intel Q45 Express Chipsets include
support for the latest PC operating systems, including Windows Vista*.
Intel® Stable Image Platform Program
Reducing the variety of supported hardware greatly simplifies enterprise and small medium
business PC management, which is reflected in a lower total cost of ownership. One critical
element in reducing PC hardware variations involves deploying standardized desktop and
laptop PC configurations. The Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (Intel® SIPP) can
help companies to identify and deploy standardized, stable image PC platforms for at least
15 months. Both the Intel Q45 and Q43 Express Chipsets support Intel SIPP.
Faster System Performance
The Intel Q45 Graphics Memory Controller Hubs (GMCH) incorporates an updated GMCH
backbone architecture that significantly increases overall system performance through the
optimization of available bandwidth with the new 1333 MHz system bus and reduction of
memory access latency with Intel Fast Memory Access. The updated GMCH also includes
support for the next-generation 45 nm Intel® Core™ processor family and wider internal
data buses that support dual-channel DDR3 memory technology at 1066 MHz (up to 17
GB/s of peak memory bandwidth in dual-channel interleaved mode).
Intel® I/O Controller Hub 10 (Intel® ICH10DO)
The Intel® ICH10 I/O controller hub as part of the Intel Q45 Express Chipset integrates
several capabilities to provide flexibility for connecting I/O devices.
• Intel® Matrix Storage Technology2:
Native support of external SATA ports (eSATA), combined with Intel Matrix Storage
Technology (Intel® MST), provides the flexibility to add an external drive for increased data
storage with up to 6 times faster performance than USB* 2.0 or IEEE 1394. Support for
eSATA enables the full SATA interface speed of up to 1.5 Gb/s outside the chassis. The
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) provides easier expandability with support for
eSATA devices and native hot plug, while boosting boot and multi-tasking performance with
Native Command Queuing (NCQ). In addition, the Intel ICH10DO provides support for
RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10, enabling greater reliability for data or improved storage
performance for intensive applications.
• Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (when configured with ICH10DO I/O controller):
With the ability to boot off a clone, Intel Rapid Recover Technology (part of Intel Matrix
Storage Technology) provides a fast, easy-to-use method for the end user to recover their
data and return their system to an operational status.
• Intel® Trusted Platform Module 1.2:
Integrated as part of the chipset; customer may choose to replace the discrete TPM with
Intel® TPM providing a higher level of integration, simplifying board layouts and reducing
