Introduction
The Intel® 850 chipset
offers significant gains in the performance PC market and
support for future Intel NetBurst micro-architecture based
processors. The 82850 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) delivers
dual RDRAM memory channels and a 400 MHz system bus,
providing the latest graphics support through 1.5V AGP4X
technology. The enhanced 82801BA I/O Controller Hub (ICH2)
delivers twice the I/O bandwidth over traditional bridge
architecture and provides dedicated data paths to fully
optimize the additional bandwidth.
