how can i find out my chipset?

slinky2004 · 10-14-2005, 03:20 PM

i've been able to get info on most of my devices, processor, etc. but i need to find out my chipset? is there possibly something out in /proc that will tell me my chipset? or maybe some kind of hardware profiler? i could put windows on here and use a system profiler that way but i'd rather not.

As root run the command lspci. If you get `command not found', install pciutils http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/utils/pciutils/

i know i have an intel chipset, where exactly does it say the exact model/make of the chipset? i'm expecting a 3 digit number, i.e. intel 810 or 815. i dont have anything out under /proc/pci, so i guess i cant use that.

linmix, i'm not sure what to make of your reply, you just posted your output from lspci and cat /proc/pci

Intel 810, 815, etc.... marketing terms really. Based on intel typically does they're numbering, I'd say you were using a Intel 855 centrino based chipset. How do I know?

Intel Corporation 82852/82855 GM/GME/PM/GMV

If it were an Intel 810.... then the above line would read something like "Intel Corporation 82810/828xx blah blah blah".

So basically to the engineers you have an Intel 82852/82855, and when marketing gets a hold of it they decide to cut the "28" out as it doesn't seem to change, and end up with Intel 855

Of course the cardbridge line also is a giveaway that its a laptop

slinky2004 · 10-14-2005, 09:41 PM

thanx. i thought the 855 stuff was just referring to my onboard graphics card because thats the "specs" said it was an intel 855GME graphics card when i bought this laptop. they never said anything about the motherboard chipset(is that the right term: "motherboard chipset"?). i guess a better way of thinking about this is that i have an 855 chipset, which includes an onboard graphics card as part of the chipset?
