Intel® Desktop Board DQ965WC Specification Update PREFACE This document is an update to the specifications contained in the Intel ® Desktop Board DQ965WC Technical Product Specification (Order Number D56018). It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes. For specification updates concerning the Intel processor that may apply to this desktop board, refer to the following: • Intel ® Pentium® 4 Processor 6x1∆ Sequence Specification Update (Order Number 310309) • Intel ® Pentium® 4 Processor on 90 nm Process Specification Update (Order Number 302352) • Intel ® Pentium® 4 Processor Specification Update (Order Number 249199) • Intel ® Pentium® D Processor 900∆ Sequence Specification Update (Order Number 310307) • Intel ® Pentium® D Processor 800∆ Sequence Specification Update (Order Number 306832) • Intel ® Core™2 Extreme Processor X6800∆ and Intel ® Core™2 Duo Desktop Processor E6000∆ Sequence Specification Update (Order Number 313279) Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping. Refer to the Intel ® 965 Express Chipset Family Specification Update (Order Number 313054) for specification updates concerning the 82Q965 GMCH Controller and that may apply to the desktop board DQ965WC. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any MCH errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping. Refer to the Intel ® IO Controller Hub8 (ICH8) Family Specification Update (Order Number 313057) for specification updates concerning the 82801HO I/O Controller Hub and that may apply to the desktop board DQ965WC. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any ICH8 errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping. Nomenclature Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications. Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board DQ965WC's behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any given Altered Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all errata documented for that AA and BIOS revision level are present on all desktop boards. Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a specification's impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications. Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications. vi
