Motherboard Description SY-6ICA
The 82820 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) features Intel ®
graphics technology and software drivers, using Direct AGP (integrated
AGP) to create vivid 2D and 3D effects and images. The 82820 chip
features integrated Hardware Motion Compensation to improve soft DVD
video quality and a digital video out port that enables connection to
traditional TVs or the new space-saving digital flat panel displays.
Intel ® Dynamic Video Memory Technology (D.V.M.T.) is an architecture
that offers breakthrough performance for the Value PC segment through
efficient memory utilization and Direct AGP. The system OS uses the Intel
software drivers and intelligent memory arbiter to support richer graphics
applications.
The System Manageability Bus allows networking equipment to monitor
the 820 chipset platform. Using ACPI specifications, the system
manageability function enables low-power sleep mode and conserves
energy when the system is idle.
The 82801 I/O Controller Hub (ICH) employs the Intel ® Accelerated Hub
Architecture to make a direct connection from the graphics and memory to
the integrated AC97 controller, the IDE controllers, dual USB ports, and
PCI add-in cards.
The Accelerated Hub Architecture provides twice the bandwidth of the
PCI bus at 266 MB per second. This allows a wider flow of rich
information from the I/O controller to the memory controller, with
optimized arbitration rules allowing more functions to run concurrently,
enabling more life-like audio and video.
The Integrated Audio-Codec 97 controller enables software audio and
modem by using the processor to run sound and modem software. By
