About This Manual—Intel Q965 Express Chipset
Intel
®
VT
Intel® Virtualization Technology. Intel® VT allows one hardware platform to function as
multiple “virtual” platforms. For businesses, Intel VT Technology
1
(Intel
®
VT) offers
improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by
isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
Intel® Wide
Dynamic
Execution
Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
Each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously.
IGD Internal Graphics Device.
LCD Liquid Crystal Display.
LVDS
Low Voltage Differential Signaling. A high speed, low power data transmission standard
used for display connections to LCD panels.
MEBx Management Engine BIOS Extensions
MEC
Media Expansion Card – Provides digital display options for an Intel Graphics Controller
that supports MEC cards. Plugs into an x16 PCI Express connector but utilizes the
multiplexed SDVO interface. Adds Video In capabilities to platform. Will not work with an
Intel Graphics Controller that supports DVO and ADD cards. Will function as an ADD2 card
in an ADD2 supported system, but Video In capabilities will not work.
PCI Express*
Graphics
PCI Express* Graphics is a high-speed serial interface whose configuration is software
compatible with the existing PCI specifications. The specific PCI Express* implementation
intended for connecting the (G)MCH to an external Graphics Controller is a x16 link and
replaces AGP.
PECI Platform Environmental Control Interface
Primary PCI
The Primary PCI is the physical PCI bus that is driven directly by the ICH8DO component.
Communication between Primary PCI and the (G)MCH occurs over DMI. Note that the
Primary PCI bus is not PCI Bus 0 from a configuration standpoint.
Processor Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E6400
QST Quiet System Technology
SATA Serial ATA Specification
SCI System Control Interrupt. SCI is used in ACPI protocol.
SDVO
Serial Digital Video Out (SDVO). SDVO is a digital display channel that serially transmits
digital display data to an external SDVO device. The SDVO device accepts this serialized
format and then translates the data into the appropriate display format (i.e., TMDS, LVDS
and TV-Out). This interface is not electrically compatible with the previous digital display
channel - DVO. For the 82Q965 GMCH, it will be multiplexed on a portion of the x16
graphics PCI Express* interface.
SDVO Device
Third party codec that uses SDVO as an input. May have a variety of output formats,
including DVI, LVDS, HDMI, TV-out, etc.
SERR System Error. An indication that an unrecoverable error has occurred on an I/O bus.
SMI
System Management Interrupt. SMI is used to indicate any of several system conditions
(such as, thermal sensor events, throttling activated, access to System Management
RAM, chassis open, or other system state related activity).
SOL Serial Over LAN
SPI Serial Peripheral Interface
SST Simple Serial Transport
