    "PCI standard host CPU bridge" and "PCI-to-PCI Bridge" are the generic devices names that are built-in to Windows (in machine.inf and pci.inf, respectively).
    Do you mean the names will be changed when I have installed the software in this thread?

    Is it correct to say the following?

    Although my PC has no Xeon processor, the controllers below do exist on my Pentium G3240, a 4th Gen processor.

    1. Intel (R) Xeon(R) processor E3 - 1200 v3/4th Gen Core processor DRAM Controller.
    2. Intel (R) Xeon(R) processor E3 - 1200 v3/4th Gen Core processor PCI Express x16 Controller.

    Yes, my Core i7 also says "Xeon." This is just a side effect of all the Intel processors in the same family using the same device IDs for the host bridge.
