Refer to the Intel Pentium
specification updates concerning the Intel Pentium 4 processor and that may apply to the
desktop board D915GLVG. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that
any processor errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s)
associated with that stepping.
®
Refer to the Intel 82915GL (Order Number 301468) for specification updates concerning the
82915GL MCH Controller and that may apply to the desktop board D915GLVG. Unless otherwise
noted in this document, it should be assumed that any MCH errata for a given stepping are
applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
®
Refer to the Intel IO Controller Hub 6 (ICH6) Family Specification Update (Order Number
301474) for specification updates concerning the 82801FB I/O Controller Hub and that may
apply to the desktop board D915GLVG. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be
assumed that any ICH 6 errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA)
revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Nomenclature
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These
changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board
D915GLVG's behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed
to be used with any given Altered Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all
errata documented for that AA and BIOS revision level are present on all desktop boards.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a
specification's impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in
the next release of the specifications.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published
specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
