*Remark: Beginning with the 810-chipset, Intel established the so-called Hub-system instead of the traditional North- and Southbridge-architecture. That's why in fact you cannot talk of North- and Southbridges anymore, but the different hubs more or less cor- respond to the bridges ;-)
1): Means that on mainboards with these chipsets no AGP-slot is provided!
