Introduction
The 815EPT Pro and 815EPT Pro-R (MS-6337, V5.X) ATX mainboards
are high-performance computer mainboards based on Intel
®
815EP/815E
(reserved upon request) chipsets. The MS-6337 UMB (Universal Motherboard)
is optimized to support the whole series of new generation Intel
®
Pentium
®
III
(FC-PGA/FC-PGA2) processors for high-end business/personal desktop
markets.
The Intel
®
815E chipset integrates a Display Cache SDRAM controller
that supports a 32-bit 133MHz SDRAM array for enhanced integrated 3D
graphics performance. It is a highly-flexible chipset which is designed to extend
the basic graphics/multimedia PC platform up to the mainstream performance
desktop platform.
The Intel 815E/EP chipsets contain two components: the 82815EP
Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the 82801BA I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2).
The MCH integrates a 66/100/133-MHz, P6 family system bus controller , AGP
(2X/4X) discrete graphics card, 100/133-MHz SDRAM controller, and a high
speed accelerated hub architecture interface for communication with the ICH2.
The ICH2 integrates an UltraATA/100 controller, 2 USB host controllers with a
total of 4 ports, LPC interface controller, FWH interface controller, PCI inter-
face controller, AC97 digital link, integrated LAN controller, and a hub inter-
face for communication with the MCH.
