Intel 845E Chipset Overview
Evolutionary Architecture
Intel 845E chipset-based platforms extend the Intel Pentium 4 processor and Intel Pentium 4 Processor – M capabilities with an excellent balance of price and performance for applied computing segments.

The Intel 845E chipset consists of two controller hubs:
The 82845E Memory Controller Hub (MCH) supports a 400MHz or 533MHz system bus, DDR200/266 memory and the latest graphics devices through the 1.5V AGP4X interface. The 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4) makes a direct connection to the graphics and memory for faster access to peripherals. It provides the features and bandwidth required for applied computing-usage models.
