Introduction
The MS-6385 Micro ATX mainboard supports the new Intel
®
PentiumTM 4 processor based on Intel® 82850 chipset. Its an high end
motherboard for the uers who want to optimize the performance from the
new Intel® Pentium
TM
4 processor
The Intel® Tehama chipset supports 64B cache line size and a 32-bit
host addressing, allowing the processor to access the entire 4GB of the
chipsets memory address space. It also provides 4x AGP data transfers and
2x/4x AGP Fast Writes capability including a 3.2GBs memory bus bandwidth
and 3.2GBs system bus bandwidth.
The Intel® Tehama 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 todays PC platforms. It
communicates with the host controller over a dedicated hub interface and
provides added flexibility in designing cost-effective system solutions.
