440GX AGPset Design Guide 1-4
Introduction
Intel introduced the Intel
®
Pentium
®
II processor as 350/100 and 400/100 speeds with 512 KB L2
cache versions.
1.3.2 Intel
®
440GX AGPset
• The Intel ® 440GX AGPset is the fourth generation chipset based on the Intel ® Pentium ® Pro
processor architecture. It has been designed to interface with the Intel
®
Pentium
®
II
processor’s system bus at 100 MHz. Along with its Host-to-PCI bridge interface, the 82443GX
host bridge controller has been optimized with a 100 MHz SDRAM memory controller and
data path. The 82443GX also features the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) interface. The
82443GX component includes the following functions and capabilities:
• Support for single and dual Intel
®
Pentium
®
II processor configurations
• 64-bit GTL+ based system data bus Interface
• 32-bit system address bus support
• 64/72-bit main memory interface with optimized support for SDRAM
• 32-bit PCI bus interface with integrated PCI arbiter
• AGP interface with up to 133 MHz data transfer rate
• Extensive data buffering between all interfaces for high throughput and concurrent operations
