SecurityMicrosoft approves Intel 915 chipsets for Vista.
Although Intel is experiencing heavy GP chipset (915GM) inventory pressure as it transitions to the Napa platform, industry players noted that the chip giant may gain relief from Microsoft, which has approved the 915GM chipset - as well as the desktop 915G IGP chipset - for supporting the Vista operating system (OS).
Due to the transition to the Napa platform, 915GM inventory levels have swelled, with the 915GM-supported Dothan CPU inventory levels reportedly reaching four million units.
