Introduction
The Micro-ATX WH1 mainboard is a high-performance computer
mainboard based on Intel
Celeron (PPGA) and Pentium
TM
sonal desktop markets.
The Intel 810E chipset is the first generation Integrated Graphics chipset
®
for Intel Celeron and Pentium
® TM
architecture consists of dedicated multi-media engines executing in parallel to
deliver high performance 3D, 2D and motion compensation video capabilities.
An integrated centralized memory arbiter allocates memory bandwidth to mul-
tiple system agents to optimize system memory utilization. A new chipset com-
ponent interconnect, the hub interface, is designed into the Intel
to provide an efficient communication channel between the memory controller
hub and I/O controller hub.
The Intel 810E chipset contains three core components. The GMCH
®
integrates a 66/100/133MHz for 810 and 66/100/133 MHz for 810E, P6 family
system bus controller, integrates 2D/3D graphics accelerator, 100MHz SDRAM
controller and high-speed hub interface for communication with the ICH0/ICH.
The ICH0/ICH integrates an Ultra ATA/33 (ICH0) or Ultra ATA/66 (ICH)
controller, USB host controller, LPC interface controller, FWH interface
controller, PCI interface controller, AC`97 digital controller and a hub interface
for communication with the GMCH/GMCHO. The Intel
(FWH) component is part of the Intel
bling future security and manageability infrastructure for the PC platform.
