I'm currently reading the Intel 845GE/PE datasheet, trying to
understand all the RAM init stuff. I intend to add support for that
chipset, based on the 855PM code. I do have a testboard
(ASUS P4PE-X TE) with that northbridge, and the ICH4 as southbridge
(which is supported already AFAIK).

The Super I/O is an IT8708F for which I'll post a patch soon.

I guess this chipset should enable us to support quite a number of
recent Intel-based boards. Any help with the northbridge is really
welcome!


Uwe.
