Nomenclature
Errata are design defects or errors. These may cause the Intel 82G31/82P31 (G)MCH
behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to
be used with any given stepping must assume that all errata documented for that
stepping are present on all devices.
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in any new release of the specification.
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 any new release of the specification.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current
published specifications. These will be incorporated in any new release of the
specification.
Note: Errata remain in the specification update throughout the product's lifecycle or until a
particular stepping is no longer commercially available. Under these circumstances,
errata removed from the specification update are archived and available upon request.
Specification changes, specification clarifications and documentation changes are
removed from the specification update when the appropriate changes are made to the
appropriate product specification or user documentation (datasheets, manuals, etc.).
