Chipset
The 845GE/PE chipset contains two core components designed for the desktop platform: the 845GE/PE Graphics Memory
Controller Hub (GMCH), and the Intel I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4). These components are interconnected via an Intel proprietary
interface called Hub Interface. The Hub Interface is designed into the 845GE/PE chipset to provide an efficient, high bandwidth
communication channel between the GMCH and the ICH4. The GMCH component provides the processor interface, system
memory interface, Hub interface, AGP interface, and an integrated graphics device with analog and digital display ports. The ICH4
integrates a Universal Serial Bus 2.0 controller, Ultra ATA/100 Controller, Low Pin Count interface, Firmware Hub Flash BIOS
interface controller, PCI interface controller, integrated LAN, AC’97 digital controller, and a Hub Interface for communication with
the GMCH.
