•Intel ®Celeron®D Processors 300ΔSequence Specification Update (Order
Number 302354)
•Intel ®Pentium®4 Processor Specification Update (Order Number 249199)
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a
given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that
stepping.
Refer to the Intel ®945G/945GZ/945P/945PL Express Chipset Family Specification Update
(Order Number 307503) for specification updates concerning the 82945G GMCH Controller and
that may apply to the desktop board D945GPM. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it
should be assumed that any GMCH errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered
Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Refer to the Intel ®I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7DH) Family EDS Specification Update (Order
Number TBD) for specification updates concerning the 82801 ICH7DH I/O Controller Hub and
that may apply to the desktop board D945GPM. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it
should be assumed that any ICH 7 errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered
Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Nomenclature
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These
changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board
D945GPM’s behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed
to be used with any given Altered Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all
errata documented for that AA and BIOS revision level are present on all desktop boards.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a
specification’s impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in
the next release of the specifications.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published
specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
