Product Description • Increased effective pixel fill rates • Increased headroom for larger resolution and color depth • Reduced power as a result of decreased memory bandwidth • Reduction in depth and color bandwidth associated with conventional rendering For information about Obtaining the Zone Rendering white paper Refer to http://developer.intel.com/design/chipsets/845gl/ 1.7.2 USB The Desktop Boards support up to four USB 2.0 ports, fully support UHCI and EHCI, and use UHCI- and EHCI-compatible drivers. For more than four USB devices, an external hub can be connected to any of the ports. The ICH4 provides the USB controller for all ports. The port arrangement is as follows: • Two ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors, adjacent to the audio connectors • Two ports are routed to the front panel USB connector ✏ NOTE Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices. ✏ NOTE USB 2.0 support has been tested with Windows 2000 and Windows XP drivers and is not currently supported by any other operating system. 1.7.3 IDE Interfaces The ICH4's IDE controller has two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces that can be independently enabled. The IDE interfaces support the following modes: • Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer. • 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec. • Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of up to 33 MB/sec. • ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible. • ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The ICH4's ATA-100 logic can achieve transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec. # INTEGRATOR'S NOTE ATA-66 and ATA-100 are faster timings and require a specialized cable to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling. 25
