Feature

Feature

Processor/System Bus:

❒ Supports on Pentium 4 processor at: 100 MHz System Bus

frequency (400 MHz Data Bus).

❒ Provides an 8-deep In-Order Queue supporting up to eight

outstanding transaction requests on the System bus.

❒ Desktop optimized AGTL+ bus driver technology with inte-

grated AGTL + termination resistors.

❒ Support for 32-bit System bus address.

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Interface:

❒ Single 1.5V AGP PRO connector.
❒ AGP Rev 2.0 compliant, including AGP 4x data transfers and

2x/4x Fast Write protocol.

❒ AGP 1.5V connector support with 1.5 V signalling only.
❒ AGP PIPE# or SBA initiated accesses to DRAM is not

snooped

❒ AGP FRAME initiated accesses to DRAM are snooped

(snooper identifies that data is coherent in cache memory).

❒ Hierarchical PCI configuration mechanism.
❒ Delayed transaction support for AGP-to-DRAM reads that

cannot be serviced immediately.
