The MS-6137 v5.X Micro-ATX WH1 mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel
®
810/810E chipset. It is designed for Intel
®
Celeron-Tualatin
TM
, Pentium
®
III and VIA
®
C3, Samuel2 processors for inex-
pensive business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel
®
810/810E chipset is the first generation Integrated Graphics
chipset for Intel
®
Celeron
TM
and Pentium
®
III processors. The graphics accel-
erator architecture consists of dedicated multi-media engines executing in par-
allel to deliver high performance 3D, 2D and motion compensation video capa-
bilities. An integrated centralized memory arbiter allocates memory bandwidth
to multiple system agents to optimize system memory utilization. A new chipset
component interconnect, the hub interface, is designed into the Intel
®
810/
810E chipset to provide an efficient communication channel between the memory
controller hub and I/O controller hub.
The Intel
®
810/810E chipset contains three core components. The GMCH
integrates 66/100/133MHz for 810 and 66/100/133 MHz for 810E, P6 family sys-
tem bus controller, integrated 2D/3D graphics accelerator, 100MHz SDRAM
controller and high-speed hub interface for communication with the ICH0/ICH.
The ICH0/ICH integrates an Ultra ATA/33 (ICH0) or Ultra ATA/66 (ICH)
controller, USB host controller, LPC interface controller, FWH interface
controller, PCI interface controller, AC`97 digital controller and a hub interface
for communication with the GMCH/GMCHO. The Intel
®
82802 Firmware Hub
(FWH) component is part of the Intel
®
810E chipset. The FWH is key to ena-
bling future security and manageability infrastructure for the PC platform.
