P5LD2-VM and GMA

[Dorothy]

Hi,
The specs on this MB (P5LD2-VM) state:
P5LD2-VM
AI Life Series
- Intel 945G chipset
- Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU
- Dual-Core CPU Support
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900
- DDR2 667/533/400
- Intel Gb LAN
- 64-bit CPU support

Is this correct in that the Intel 945G chipset
has GMA 900 vs the 950 that Intel associates with this chipset?

I posted at their online forum but got no response and Intel said see Asus
and I have not found an email address for them.

Thanks for any clarification.

GMA900 is 915 chipset (of 915/925 generation):

GMA950 is 945 chipset (of 945/955 generation):
http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/

I would take Intel's word for it

http://www.asus.com.tw/products3.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=194&slname=Intel 945G

- Intel 945G chipset
- Intel LGA775 Pentium 4 CPU
- Dual-Core CPU Support
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
- DDR2 667/533/400
- Intel Gb LAN
- 64-bit CPU support

Maybe it was just a typo on the page you were looking at.

Thanks so much for the link Paul.
I wanted to believe Intel but was not sure if ASUS was able to do something
weird ;-)

I think I saw it at Mwave and perhaps there is some bad copy that is being
used at various places. I'm glad I checked here.
