Term Description<br />

TOLM Top Of Low Memory. The highest address below 4 GB where a processor-initiated<br />

memory read or write transaction will create a corresponding cycle to DRAM on the<br />

memory interface.<br />

VCO Voltage Controlled Oscillator<br />

UMA Unified Memory Architecture. UMA describes an IGD using system memory for its<br />

frame buffers.<br />

1.3 (G)MCH Overview<br />

The (G)MCH connects to the processor as shown in the previous system block diagrams. The<br />

primary role of a (G)MCH in a system is to manage the flow of information between its<br />

interfaces: the processor interface (FSB), the system memory interface (DRAM controller), the<br />

integrated graphics interface (82<strong>945G</strong>/82<strong>945G</strong>Z/82<strong>945G</strong>C GMCH only), the external graphics<br />

interface (PCI <strong>Express</strong>), and the I/O Controller through DMI interface. This includes arbitrating<br />

between the four interfaces when each initiates transactions.<br />

The (G)MCH supports one or two channels of DDR2 SDRAM. The (G)MCH also supports the<br />

new PCI <strong>Express</strong> based external graphics attach. To increase system performance, the (G)MCH<br />

incorporates several queues and a write cache. The (G)MCH also contains advanced desktop<br />

power management logic.<br />
