is shown as 0FFH.) Decimal and binary numbers are represented by their customary notations (That is, 255 is a decimal number and 1111 1111 is a binary number). In some cases, the letter B is added for clarity.

Units of Measure

The following abbreviations are used to represent units of

 

measure:

 

 

GByte

gigabytes

 

KByte

kilobytes

 

MByte

Signal Names

Signal names are shown in uppercase. When several signals

 

share a common name, an individual signal is represented by

the signal name followed by a number, while the group is represented by the signal name followed by a variable (n). For example, the lower chip-select signals are named CS0#, CS1#, CS2#, and so on; they are collectively called CSn#. A pound symbol (#) appended to a signal name identifies an active-low signal. Port pins are represented by the port abbreviation, a period, and the pin number (e.g., P1.0).

Term

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Advanced Digital Display Card – 2nd Generation. This card provides digital display options

 

 

 

for an Intel Graphics Controller that supports ADD2+ cards. It plugs into a x16 PCI

 

ADD2 Card

 

Express* connector but uses the multiplexed SDVO interface. The card adds Video In

 

 

capabilities to platform. This Advanced Digital Display Card will not work with an Intel

 

 

 

 

 

 

Graphics Controller that supports DVO and ADD cards. It will function as an ADD2 card in

 

 

 

an ADD2 supported system, but video in capabilities will not work.

 

 

 

 

 

ACPI

 

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

 

 

 

 

 

Core

 

The internal base logic in the (G)MCH

 

 

 

 

 

DDR2

 

A second generation Double Data Rate SDRAM memory technology

 

 

 

 

 

DMI

 

(G)MCH-IntelÆICH9 Direct Media Interface

 

DVI

 

Digital Video Interface. Specification that defines the connector and interface for digital

 

 

displays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FSB

 

Front Side Bus. FSB is synonymous with Host or processor bus

 

 

 

 

 

GMA 3100

 

Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 3100

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eighth generation I/O Controller Hub component that contains additional functionality

 

IntelÆ ICH9

 

compared to previous ICHs. The I/O Controller Hub component contains the primary PCI

 

 

 

interface, LPC interface, USB2, ATA-100, and other I/O functions. It communicates with

 

 

 

the (G)MCH over a proprietary interconnect called DMI.

 

 

 

 

 

IGD

 

Internal Graphics Device.

 

 

 

 

 

LVDS
