Chapter 1: Motherboard Overview

Introduction
This manual describes the Viglen Vig410P Motherboard inside your computer. The
Motherboard is the most important part of your computer. It contains all of the CPU,
memory and graphics circuitry that make the computer work.
The Vig410P is built upon the functionality and the capability of the Intel 5500 chipset
platform. The Vig410P Motherboard provides the performance required for dual
processor-based CAD workstations or graphic-intensive systems. The 5500 chipset
consists of the 5500 (LGA 1366) processor, the 5500 (North Bridge), and the South
Bridge (ICH10R). With the Intel QuickPath interconnect (QPI) controller built in, the
5500 Series Processor platform is the first dual-processing platform that offers the
next generation point-to-point system interconnect interface, replacing the current
Front Side Bus Technology that substantially enhances system performance with
increased bandwidth and scalability.
