The 3x and 4x series chipsets are designed as a two-chip set solution and must be com-
bined with a corresponding ICH chip. The ICH contains interfaces for the SATA ports
(some with RAID capability), non-video PCIe slots, USB ports, and integrated HD audio
and LAN connections. Table 4.26 shows the specific ICH chips that are used with 3x and
4x series chipsets.
