The Intel
®
915GL graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) and the ICH6 I/O
controller hub provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard. The GMCH
features the Intel
®
Graphics Media Accelerator 900, an integrated graphics
engine for enhanced 3D, 2D, and video capabilities. The GMCH provides the
interface for a processor in the 775-land package with 533/800 MHz front
side bus (FSB) and dual channel DDR at speeds of up to 400 MHz.
The Intel
®
ICH6 Southbridge represents the sixth generation I/O controller
hub that provides the interface for PCI Express and Serial ATA.
