Introduction
Overview
P2S series mainboards utilize Intel
®
845DDR chipset which consist of two components:
the Intel
®
i845DDR Memory Controller Hub(Brookdale MCH) and the 82801BA I/O Con-
troller Hub2(ICH2), providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective
desktop PC or workstation. The new integrated technologies, together with VGA or AGP
4X support , AC’97 audio, integrated LAN(optional), 4 USB ports, ATA33/66/100 and IDE
RAID, give customers an advanced, multimedia solution at reasonable price. It provides
400MHz host bus speed to support Intel
®
Pentium 4 socket 478 processors and the
largest DDR memory capacity is up to 2GB. It also provides advanced features such as
Wake up by USB devices, Wake-on-LAN, Wake-on-Modem and Keyboard Password
Power-on functions. Suspend to RAM, the optimal implementation of the Advanced Con-
figuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, makes the PC’s power consumption
drop to the lowest possible level and enable quick wakeup. BootEasy, QDI innovation,
lets the PC boot freely and rapidly. StepEasy, our new innovation is also supplied to
enable you to adjust CPU frequency step by step easily to utilize CPU’s potential ability.
