The Intel 82845 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) provides the processor interface, AGP interface and hub interface. It supports: a single processor with a data transfer rate of 400MHz, SDRAM at 133MHz operation (PC133), AGTL+ host bus with integrated termination supporting 32-bit host addressing, 1.5V AGP interface with 4x SBA/data transfer and 2x/4x fast write capability, and 8-bit, 66MHz 4x hub interface to the Intel ICH2.

The Intel 82801BA (ICH2) chipset is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to the PCI Bus and integrates many of the functions needed in today's PC platforms. It communicates with the host controller over a dedicated hub interface and provides added flexibility in designing cost-effective system solutions.
