Use one of the following methods to determine the chipset:

1. Check the specifications in your system documentation or on the system manufacturer's website.
   
   
2. Check what graphics driver is installed (Windows* instructions).
   1. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties.
   2. Click the Settings tab.
   3. The graphics controller will be listed under Display: If "Intel® 82830M Graphics Controller" or "Intel® 830M Graphics Controller" are listed, then this is an Intel® 830 chipset family-based system. If "Intel® 82810 Graphics Controller", "Intel® 82810-DC100 Graphics Controller", or "Intel® 82810E Graphics Controller" are listed, then this is an Intel® 810 chipset family-based system. If "Intel® 82815 Graphics Controller" is listed, then this is an Intel® 815 chipset family-based system. If a Standard VGA driver is listed instead, the graphics drivers is not installed and you must use one of the other methods to determine your chipset.
   
   
3. Check the chipset name in Device Manager (Windows* 95/98/Me instructions).
   1. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
   2. Click the Device Manager tab.
   3. Double-click System devices icon.
   4. If an item containing "82830" is listed, that indicates an Intel 830 chipset family-based system. If an item containing "82810" or "82810e" is listed, that indicates an Intel 810 chipset family-based system. If an item containing "82815" or "82815e" is listed, that indicates an Intel 815 chipset family-based system.
   
   
4. Check the chipset name in Device Manager (Windows* 2000 instructions).
   1. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
   2. Click the Hardware tab.
   3. Click the Device Manager button.
   4. Double-click System devices icon.
   5. If an item containing "82830" is listed, that indicates an Intel 830 chipset family-based system. If an item containing "82810" or "82810e" is listed, that indicates an Intel 810 chipset family-based system. If an item containing "82815" or "82815e" is listed, that indicates an Intel 815 chipset family-based system.
   
   
5. Check the chipset name in Device Manager (Windows* XP instructions).
   1. Click the Start button.
   2. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
   3. Click the Hardware tab.
   4. Click the Device Manager button.
   5. Double-click System devices icon.
   6. If an item containing "82830" is listed, that indicates an Intel 830 chipset family-based system. If an item containing "82810" or "82810e" is listed, that indicates an Intel 810 chipset family-based system. If an item containing "82815" or "82815e" is listed, that indicates an Intel 815 chipset family-based system.
   
   
6. Look at the chipset on the motherboard (desktop systems only.).
   1. Open your system case and look at the motherboard.
      WARNING: Opening your system might violate your warranty. Check with the place-of-purchase or system manufacturer to determine warranty information.
   2. After opening the case, look on the motherboard for the GMCH chip, which is approximately the size of a quarter and has an Intel® logo on it.
   3. If "FW82810", "FW82810DC100", or "FW82810E" is printed on the GMCH chip, that indicates an Intel 810 chipset family-based system. If "FW82815" is printed on the GMCH chip, that indicates an Intel 815 chipset family-based system. "FW82815EP" indicates a system with the Intel® 815EP chipset, which does not contain integrated graphics.
