Intel i945GC northbridge with Pentium Dual-Core microprocessor. This article provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4xx series), those that connect using specialized "hub links" (the 8xx series), and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series).
A driver communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device (drives it). Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program.
The mobile daughter card, also known as an MDC or CDC (communications daughter card), is a notebook version of the AMR slot on the motherboard of a desktop computer. It is designed to interface with special Ethernet (EDC), modem (MDC) or bluetooth (BDC) cards.
A PC motherboard is the main circuit board within a typical desktop computer, laptop or server. Its main functions are as follows: Its main functions are as follows: To serve as a central backbone to which all other modular parts such as CPU , RAM , and hard drives can be attached as required to create a computer
A game port (not provided by recent super I/O chips because Windows XP is the last Windows OS to natively support game ports, requiring vendors to supply their own drivers for later Windows operating systems) [citation needed] A watchdog timer; A consumer IR receiver; A MIDI port; Some GPIO pins; Legacy Plug and Play or ACPI support for the ...
There are a number of other companies (AMD, Microchip, Altera, etc.) making specialized chipsets as part of other ICs, and they are not often found in PC hardware (laptop, desktop or server). There are also a number of now defunct companies (like 3com, DEC, SGI) that produced network related chipsets for us in general computers.
Dell Precision is a series of computer workstations for computer-aided design/architecture/computer graphics professionals, or as small-scale business servers [citation needed]. They are available in both desktop (tower) and mobile (laptop) form.
In PC to peripheral usage models (such as dial up networking using a cellular phone), the PC may need to download device drivers or other software for that peripheral from a web site. To do this the driver must know the proper identity of the peripheral.
