Introduction
Overview
PlatiniX 1E series of mainboards utilize Intel
®
845E chipset consisting of two components:
the Intel
®
i845E Memory Controller Hub(Brookdale-E MCH) and the 82801DB I/O Controller
Hub4(ICH4), providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective mATX
platform. The new integrated technologies, together with AGP 4X support, AC97 audio,
integrated LAN(optional), 6 USB ports, and ATA100/66/33, give customers an advanced,
multimedia solution at reasonable price. It provides 400/533MHz host bus speed to sup-
port 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, ACPI and Keyboard Password Power-on functions. Suspend to
RAM, the optimal implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI) specification, makes the PCs power consumption drop to the lowest possible level
and enable quick wakeup. BootEasy, QDI innovation, lets the PC boot freely and rapidly.
