Dual DDR For Pentium 4: Intel E7205 Chipset Put To The Test

Piggybacked: ICH4 Southbridge

Southbridge ICH4, also known as FW82801DB

The ICH4 supports ATA/ 100 for hard drives. Theoretically, that equals a maximum possible transfer rate of 100 MByte/second. Bandwidths of up to 480 Mbit/second are possible with USB2.0. The controller is also backwards-compatible with USB 1.1, which allows a bandwidth of only 12 Mbit/second. USB uses it primarily for data transfer to scanners, printers and digital cameras.

Driver Support In Windows

Operating systems such as Windows XP require a driver in order to take advantage of all of the functions of the E7XXX chipset.
