is shown as 0FFH.) Decimal and binary numbers are
represented by their customary notations (That is, 255 is a
decimal number and 1111 1111 is a binary number). In some
cases, the letter B is added for clarity.
Units of Measure The following abbreviations are used to represent units of
measure:
GByte gigabytes
KByte kilobytes
MByte megabytes
MHz megahertz
W watts
V volts
Signal Names Signal names are shown in uppercase. When several signals
share a common name, an individual signal is represented by
the signal name followed by a number, while the group is
represented by the signal name followed by a variable (n). For
example, the lower chip-select signals are named CS0#, CS1#,
CS2#, and so on; they are collectively called CSn#. A pound
symbol (#) appended to a signal name identifies an active-low
signal. Port pins are represented by the port abbreviation, a
period, and the pin number (e.g., P1.0).

Term Description
ADD2 Card
Advanced Digital Display Card – 2 nd Generation. This card provides digital display options
for an Intel Graphics Controller that supports ADD2+ cards. It plugs into a x16 PCI
Express* connector but uses the multiplexed SDVO interface. The card adds Video In
capabilities to platform. This Advanced Digital Display Card will not work with an Intel
Graphics Controller that supports DVO and ADD cards. It will function as an ADD2 card in
an ADD2 supported system, but video in capabilities will not work.
ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Core The internal base logic in the (G)MCH
DDR2 A second generation Double Data Rate SDRAM memory technology
DMI (G)MCH-Intel Æ ICH9 Direct Media Interface
DVI
Digital Video Interface. Specification that defines the connector and interface for digital
displays.
FSB Front Side Bus. FSB is synonymous with Host or processor bus
GMA 3100 Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 3100
Intel Æ ICH9
Eighth generation I/O Controller Hub component that contains additional functionality
compared to previous ICHs. The I/O Controller Hub component contains the primary PCI
interface, LPC interface, USB2, ATA-100, and other I/O functions. It communicates with
the (G)MCH over a proprietary interconnect called DMI.
IGD Internal Graphics Device.
LVDS
Low Voltage Differential Signaling. A high speed, low power data transmission standard
used for display connections to LCD panels.
