Introduction
This datasheet is for both the Intel® 82845GE Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® 82845PE Memory Controller Hub (MCH) components. The 82845GE GMCH is part of the Intel® 845GE chipset and the 82845PE MCH is part of the Intel® 845PE chipset. Each chipset contains two main components: GMCH (MCH) for the host bridge and I/O Controller Hub for the I/O subsystem. The GMCH (MCH) provides the processor interface, system memory interface, hub interface, and additional interfaces in an 845GE / 845PE chipset desktop platform. Both the 845GE chipset and 845PE chipset use the 82801DB ICH4 for the I/O Controller Hub.
