1 Introduction
The Intel
®
925X Express chipset and Intel
®
925XE Express chipset are designed for use with the
Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 processor in entry-level, uniprocessor, workstation platforms. The chipsets
contain two components: 82925X or 82925XE Memory Controller Hub (MCH) for the host
bridge and I/O Controller Hub 6 (ICH6) for the I/O subsystem. The MCH provides the interface
to the processor, main memory, PCI Express, and the ICH6. The ICH6 is the sixth generation I/O
Controller Hub and provides a multitude of I/O related functions. Figure 1-1 shows an example
system block diagram for the 925X/925XE Express chipset.
For great workstation application flexibility, the Intel
®
925X/925XE Express chipset is
specifically designed to support Intel
®
Extended Memory 64 Technology
Φ
(Intel
®
EM64T)
enabling 64-bit memory addressability. Select versions of the Pentium 4 processor support
Intel EM64T) as an enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture on workstation platforms. This
enhancement enables the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take
advantage of Intel EM64T. Further details on the 64-bit extension architecture and programming
model can be found in the
Intel
®
Extended Memory 64 Technology Software Developer Guide
at

This document is the datasheet for the Intel
®
82925X MCH and Intel
®
82925XE MCH. Topics
covered include; signal description, system memory map, register descriptions, a description of
the MCH interfaces and major functional units, electrical characteristics, ballout definitions, and
package characteristics.
Note:
Φ
Intel
®
Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel
®
EM64T) requires a computer system with a
processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel
EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled
BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See
www.intel.com/info/em64t
for more information including details on which processors support
EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information.
Note:
Unless otherwise specified, the information in this document applies to both the 82925X MCH
and 82925XE MCH.
Note:
Unless otherwise specified, ICH6 refers to the Intel
®
82801FB ICH6 and 82801FR ICHR I/O
Controller Hub components.
