The Intel 915GL chipset consists of the following devices: 
•  Intel 82915GL Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) with Direct Media Interface (DMI) 

interconnect 

•  Intel 82801FB I/O Controller Hub (ICH6) with DMI interconnect 
•  Firmware Hub (FWH) 

The GMCH is a centralized controller for the system bus, the memory bus, the PCI Express bus, 
and the DMI interconnect.  The ICH6 is a centralized controller for the board’s I/O paths.  The 
FWH provides the nonvolatile storage of the BIOS.
