INTRODUCTION
The MS-6188 Flex ATX WH11 mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel
®
for the Intel Celeron
business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel
chipset for the Intel
tecture consists of dedicated multi-media engines executing in parallel to
deliver high performance 3D, 2D, and motion compensation video capabili-
ties. An integrated centralized memory arbiter allocates memory bandwidth
to multiple system agents to optimize system memory utilization. A new
chipset component interconnect, the hub interface, is designed into the Intel
810 chipset to provide an efficient communication channel between the
memory controller hub and I/O hub controller.
The Intel 810 chipset contains three core components: the Graph-
ics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and
the Firmware Hub (FWH). The GMCH integrates a 66/100MHz, P6 family
system bus controller, integrates 2D/3D graphics accelerator, 100MHz
SDRAM controller and high-speed hub interface for communication with the
ICH. The ICH integrates an Ultra ATA66(ICH) controller, USB host control-
ler, LPC interface controller, FWH inteface conroller, PCI interface controller,
AC'97 digital controller and a hub interface for communication with the
GMCH.
