Intel® 815 Chipset: Graphics Controller PRM, Rev 1.0

R

Term

Description

MCH

The Memory Controller Hub component that contains the processor interface,

 

DRAM controller, and AGP interface. The MCH communicates with the ICH over

 

a proprietary interconnect called the hub interface (previously known as

 

HubLink). The MCH was called the North Bridge (NB) in previous chip sets.

 

MCH will be used to refer to non-graphics portion of the GMCH.

MM

Memory Mapped address space.

MMIO

Memory Mapped I/O space.

QW

Quad Word = 64 bits = 8 Bytes.

R/W (register)

Read/Write. A register with this attribute can be read and written.

R/WC (register)

Read/Write Clear. A register bit with this attribute can be read and written.

 

However, a write of 1 clears (sets to 0) the corresponding bit and a write of 0 has

 

no effect.

R/WO (register)

Read/Write Once. A register bit with this attribute can be written to only once

 

after power up. After the first write, the bit becomes read only.

RO (register)

Read Only. In some cases, if a register is read only, writes to this register

 

location have no effect. However, in other cases, two separate registers are

 

located at the same location where a read accesses one of the registers and a

 

write accesses the other register. See the I/O and memory map tables for

 

details.

WO (register)

Write Only. In some cases, If a register is write only, reads to this register

 

location have no effect. However, in other cases, two separate registers are

 

located at the same location where a read accesses one of the registers and a

 

write accesses the other register. See the I/O and memory map tables for

 

details.
