Introduction
Overview
PlatiniX 4X green mainboard utilizes Intel
®
850 chipset, 850 contains two components: the
82850 Memory Controller Hub(MCH) and the 82801BA I/O Controller Hub2(ICH2), providing
a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective ATX platform. The new integrated
technologies, together with AGP 4X support, AC97 audio(optional, Upgradable to 6 chan-
nels audio with CNR card), 4 USB ports, and ATA100/66/33, give customers an advanced,
multimedia solution at an reasonable price. It provides 400 MHz system bus to support
Intel
®
Pentium 4 socket 423 processors. 300/400MHz RDRAMs are supported up to 2GB.
It also provides advanced features such as Wake up by USB devices, Wake-on-LAN,
Wake-on-Modem and ACPI 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. ManageEasy,
our system management application is also supplied to enable remote monitoring and
configuration of the system.BootEasy, lets the PC boot freely and rapidly.

Pentium 4 socket 423 processors at 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.7GHz and above
l
Supports 400MHz host bus speed
System memory
l
Provides four 168-pin RIMM sockets
l
Supports Dual channels RAM bus PC800/PC600 RDRAM
l
Supports 512MB using 64Mb RDRAM technology
l
Supports 1GB using 128Mb RDRAM technology
l
Supports 2GB using 256Mb RDRAM technology
Note:Channel A is composed of RIMM1 and RIMM3, Channel B is composed of
RIMM2 and RIMM4. The memory configuration of RIMM1 and RIMM2, RIMM3
and RIMM4 must de identical. C-RIMMs(Continuity RIMM)must be used to
complete the sockets that are not populated by RDRAMs. But the mainboard
is useless when using 4 C-RIMMs to fill all sockets.
