Intel Chipset Programming

Question

Does anyone know how to get start with writing a program to access, say, an intel memory controller hub, such as the intel 5400 mch or the intel p45 mch? Do I need Intel's Parallel Composer studio to get started? Can I simply get started with C/C++ programming in Visual Studio C++? If so, how do I get started?

What do you mean "access the memory controller hub"? You do that every time you touch memory! What are you trying to accomplish? – Cushiony

Thanks for your response. I found some programmer's manuals on Intel's website. This is just what I was looking for. – Editorialize

@Editorialize can you post those links as an answer, as the fact you got 9 up-votes there seemed to be a lot of interest in it. – Mcshane

@user770402: I suggest adding it as an "answer", worded suitably. If it's a good answer, you'll get upvotes and an hour later you'll be able to accept it - which means you'll get even more rep, ultimately, and right now your rep is very low. – Hurter

...and your question won't appear as "unanswered" anymore :) – Mistrust
