® R Intel E7205 Chipset MCH Preface This document is an update to the specifications contained in the documents listed in the following Affected Documents/Related Documents table. It is a compilation of device and document errata and specification clarifications and changes, and is intended for hardware system manufacturers and for software developers of applications, operating system, and tools.
® R Intel E7205 Chipset MCH Component Identification via Programming Interface The Intel® E7205 chipset MCH stepping can be identified by the following register contents: 1 2 3 Stepping Vendor ID Device ID Revision Number B0 8086h 255Dh 03h NOTES: 1. The Vendor ID corresponds to bits 15:0 of the Vendor ID Register located at offset 00–01h in the PCI function 0 configuration space. 2.
® R Intel E7205 Chipset MCH Summary Tables of Changes The following table indicates the Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications or Documentation Changes, which apply to the listed Intel® E7205 chipset MCH steppings. Intel intends to fix some of the errata in a future stepping of the component, and to account for the other outstanding issues through documentation or Specification Changes as noted.

® R Intel E7205 Chipset MCH Errata 1. tVAL(min) Timing Is Not Meeting AGP 3.0 Specification Problem: During simulation studies, it was determined that the AGP signals were not meeting the tVAL(min) of 1ns. Implication: AGP interface is susceptible to latching invalid data. Workaround: Minimum trace lengths for the AGP common clock and source synchronous signals have increased to offset this timing violation. Refer to latest platform design guide. Status: No fix planned for this erratum.
