This document describes both the Intel 450KX and 450GX PCIsets. Unshaded areas apply to both the
PC Isets. Shad ed areas, like this one, describe the 450 GX operations that diff er from the 450KX.
The Intel 450KX/GX PCIsets provide a high-performance system solution for Pentium Pro processor-based
PCI systems by combining high integration, high performance technology with a scalable architecture that is
capable of high throughput for up to four Pentium Pro processors. Scalability provides a wide range of system
solutions from cost-effective uniprocessor systems to high-end multiprocessor systems without sacrificing
performance. For systems requiring extensive I/O (e.g., file servers), a second PB can be easily added
providing two high-performance PCI bus structures. The flexibility of the memory controller permits easy
expan s ion fr om a s im pl e n on - in ter l ea v ed or ga ni z ation to a 2- way or 4-w a y int er l ea ved orga niza t io n to inc r e as e
performance. Extended error checking and logging, ECC, and the ability to build in redundancy (e.g, multiple
processo rs and du al PCI bridges) provides a comprehensive solution for systems requiring high reliabilit y.
The PC Iset may cont ain design de fects or errors k nown as errata. Curr ent chara cterized errata are available
up on requ est.
