High performance mainboard for Intel 850 chipset

4 July 2001 Computer/Embedded Technology

MSI has released a new Pentium 4 motherboard 850 Pro2 that features Intel's 850 chipset. The 850 Pro2 now supports ICH2 on its South Bridge chipset. MSI's motherboard conforms to the ATX form factor and is fully capable of supporting the high frequency and superior performance of the Pentium 4 processor. The 850 Pro2 applies Intel's Socket 423 specification which is the later development by Intel to further enhance functions and features on top of the previous Socket 370 architecture.

Based on Intel's QDR (Quad Data Rate) technology, the data transfer rate between the chipset and the processor can reach up to 3,2 GB/s, avoiding data congestion in the processor, and accelerating the data communication between subsystems. The chipset and the memory bus apply Dual Channel technology, also increasing its data transfer rate to 3,2 GB/s, boosting data processing speed.

Expansion slots are available for 4x PCI, 1x CNR, and 1 AGP/ AGP Pro 4x Port. 4 RIMM slots support up to 2 GB of system memory, enabling higher bus speed, bandwidth and system performance.

The major features of the 850 Pro2 include: supports USB PC2PC connection; supports Ultra ATA100; supports Fuzzy Logic3 - an intelligent automatic overclocking tool; D-LED - a combination of 4 LED lights that represent 16 different troubleshooting functions during boot up; PC Alert III; supports 3D PCI Audio; STR (Suspend to RAM); supports 4 USB ports; PC 99 and PCI 2.2 specification-compliant and certified.
