Intel 3000 and 3010 Chipset

The Intel® 3000 and 3010 Chipsets are designed for use with Intel® Xeon® 3000 Sequence, Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 600 Sequence, Intel® Pentium® D processor 800 Sequence and 900 Sequence, and Intel® Celeron® D, in the LGA775 package in entry-level UP server platforms. The chipset contains two components: Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7). The MCH provides the interface to the processor, main memory, PCI Express*, and the ICH7. The ICH7 is the seventh generation I/O Controller Hub and provides a multitude of I/O related functions.

Intel® 3000 Chipset supports one PCI Express x8 port. Intel® 3010 Chipset supports two PCI Express x8 ports or one PCI Express x16 port.

Intel Celeron Processor


Systems based on the Intel® Celeron processor are ideal for day-to-day computing, whether in the home, classroom, or office.
Take basic computing to new levels with dual-core processing. The Intel® Celeron® processor, with 512 KB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus, has two independent processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency, delivering superior energy efficient dual-core performance.
The Intel® Celeron® processor is also an exceptional value for single-core desktop computing delivering a balanced level of proven technology.

Intel board

The Intel® Board ID Tool reports if you have a branded retail Intel® Desktop Board installed in your system. There are two options for using the Board ID Tool:

  • Offline Intel® Board ID Tool - save it to a folder to run later or copy to a USB thumb drive to run on a different computer. Use this version if your operating system and/or browser does not support the online version.
  • Online Intel® Board ID Tool - run it right now on this computer. This version has been validated with Microsoft* Windows* XP and Internet Explorer*. When you run the online ID Tool for the first time, you will be prompted to install the software.
If the Board ID Tool detects a branded retail Intel® Desktop Board, the resulting status window will display the board model, board version (AA#), BIOS version and operating system version.
