Introduction

The MS-6385 Micro ATX mainboard supports the new Intel

PentiumTM 4 processor based on Intel® 82850 chipset. Its an high end motherboard for the uers who want to optimize the performance from the new Intel® Pentium

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 chipsets 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 todays PC platforms. It communicates with the host controller over a dedicated hub interface and provides added flexibility in designing cost-effective system solutions.

MSI Special Features

The MSI special features are designed by MSI R&D which are only available in MSI mainboards. The 6385 mainboard is equipped with PC Alert

III.

PC Alert III

The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM. The utility is just like your PC doctor that can detect the following PC hardware status during real time operation: * monitor CPU & system temperature * monitor fan speed * monitor system voltage * monitor chassis intrusion If one of the items above is abnormal, the program main screen will be immediately shown on the screen, with the abnormal item highlighted in red. This will continue to be shown until user disables warning.
