Matrox Electronic Systems 4SIGHT-M - Manual (Page 14)

14 Chapter 1: Before you begin
Overview
Matrox 4Sight-M is a self-contained platform that integrates processing and
display, along with image capture, networking, and general purpose I/O.
Matrox 4Sight-M comes in two basic versions: the integrated-unit version and
the motherboard-only version.
The integrated-unit version includes a Matrox 4Sight-M motherboard, a DIMM
memory module, a mass storage device, and an optional frame grabber, all of which
are encased within a metal chassis.
The motherboard-only version is sold without the chassis and is not bundled with
a frame grabber, memory module, or storage device. You will have to purchase
these items separately.
For a complete list of all standard and additional components of your Matrox
4Sight-M unit, refer to the Inspecting your Matrox 4Sight-M package section, later
in this chapter.

The chipset is divided into two components called the GMHC (Graphic memory
hub controller) and ICH (I/O hub controller). The GMHC component is
implemented using the Intel 855GME chip and contains a dedicated CPU
interface, a memory controller, and a display controller. The ICH component is
implemented using the Intel ICH4 chip and provides an interface to the audio
Codec, IDE devices, USB port, PCI port, and LAN controller.
1. The processor is actually covered by a heat sink. During POST, the BIOS will display
the type of processor in your unit.
