Chipset Identification
Many utilities are available to help identify the CPU and chipset components that are used on a
PC motherboard. These utilities can be found on the Internet by searching for "CPU ID utility" or
"CPU chipset identification utility".
Intel chipsets are typically a 5-digit number starting with 82 and the last three digits being the
chipset number. For example, the "82810s System and Graphic Controller" is the 810E chipset.
The ""82443BX" is a 400 series chipset. Intel has a small chipset ID utility you can download to
help: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/chipsetid.htm
For VIA and Intel chipsets, in Device Manager, you can also expand the "Hard disk controllers" or
"IDE ATA/ ATAPI controllers" listing to show the IDE controller name and number.
You can check your system chipset identification in Windows Device Manager. Start by Right
Clicking on My Computer. Then follow the sequence for your version of Windows:
For Windows XP or Windows 2000:
-> select the Hardware tab -> click the Device Manager… button -> expand the 'System devices'
listing.
For Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95:
-> select the Device Manager tab -> expand the 'System devices' listing.
Intel Application Accelerator
The Intel Application Accelerator v2.3 or above support ATA interface disc drives greater than
137GB. Detailed information and the latest version of the driver can be downloaded from
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/
. The Intel 800 Series chipsets include 810, 810E,
810E2, 815, 815, 815E, 815EP, 815P, 820, 820E, 830M, 830MP, 830MG, 840, 845, 850, or 860
chipset.
Caution: If your system boot drive uses a drive overlay program (DDO) to overcome a previous
BIOS capacity limitation (such as Disk Manager or DiscWizard and identifiable as a blue
banner box before the operating system loads), then the Intel Application Accelerator is
incompatible with your system. If you have this legacy configuration, the Ultra ATA
controller card is the only solution for Windows Me or 98SE.
