INTRODUCTION
The MS-6182 ATX WH8 mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel
®
for the Intel Pentium
business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel
chipset for the Intel
accelerator 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 multiple system agents to optimize system memory
utilization. A new chipset component interconnect, the hub interface, is
designed into the Intel
channel between the memory controller hub and I/O hub controller.
The Intel
Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub
(ICHO/ICH) and the Firmware Hub (FWH). The GMCH integrates a 66/
100MHz, P6 family system bus controller, 2D/3D graphics accelerator,
100MHz SDRAM controller and high-speed hub interface for communication
with the ICHO/ICH. The ICHO/ICH integrates an Ultra ATA/33(ICHO) or
Ultra ATA/66(ICH) controller, USB host controller, LPC interface controller,
FWH interface conroller, PCI interface controller, AC'97 digital controller and
a hub interface for communication with the GMCH.
The Intel
