Introduction 1
The 850 Pro5 (MS-6545 v1.X) ATX mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel®82850 chipset. It is optimized to support
Intel®Pentium®4 processors for high-end business/personal desktop markets.
The Intel®850 chipset supports 64-byte cache line size and a 32-bit host
addressing, allowing the processor to access the chipset’s memory address
space. It also provides 4x AGP data transfers and AGP Fast Write capability.
The Intel®850 chipset features a dual channel Direct RDRAM memory
operating in lock-step using RSL technology. It is a highly-flexible chipset
which is designed to extend the basic graphics/multimedia PC platform up to
the mainstream performance desktop platform.
The Intel®82801BA (ICH2) chipset is a highly integrated multifunctional
I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to the PCI Bus and integrates
many of the functions needed in today’s PC platforms. It communicates with
the host controller over a dedicated hub interface and provides added flexibil-
ity in designing cost-effective system solutions.
