Intel 845G/GL Chipsets
The mP4G and Mp4GL motherboards use variations of
the Intel 845 Chipset, a multi-function chipset for higher-
end performance and mainstream systems. The mP4G
uses the 845G chipset and the mP4GL uses the 845GL.
Both chipsets include a high performance onboard dis-
play graphics controller. The difference between the two
is that the 845G chipset on the mP4G supports the use of
an AGP display card installed in the AGP slot, while the
845GL chipset on the mP4GL does not. The 845GL chipset
only allows the use of a DVI interface display card (for
LCD flat-panel displays) or a TV-Out card in the onboard
AGP slot.
The components of the chipset components include the
following devices mounted on the board:
mP4G –
• North Bridge: 82845G Memory Controller Hub
(533MHz FSB)
• South Bridge: 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
mP4GL –
• North Bridge: 82845GL Memory Controller Hub
(400MHZ FSB)
• South Bridge: 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
The chipset provides host bus, memory, AGP, and I/O
interfaces.
Winbond Super I/O
Both motherboards also use the Winbond W83637HF
Super I/O controller chip, which has the following func-
tions:
• Hardware monitor
• Memory Stick/Secure Digital interface
• Smart Card interface
