Intel 850
The Intel 850 chipset was the first chipset available for the Pentium 4 processor, and was simultaneously released in November 2000. It consists of an 82850 memory controller hub and an 82801BA I/O controller hub.
This chipset will outperform the AMD 760 chipset with the 266 MHz FSB.[1] Despite using (supposedly) high-performance expensive RDRAM, performance was mediocre at best. In early 2002, this chipset was superseded by the Intel 845, which used slower but much less expensive SDRAM or DDR SDRAM.
Features
- Socket 423 or Socket 478 CPU compatible with 400 MHz FSB[2]
- Supports P4 CPUs at 1.3 GHz or Faster[3]
- Four PC800 RDRAM slots compatible with ECC
- Up to 2GB memory supported.
- AGP 4X slot
Intel 850E
The Intel 850E chipset added PC1066 RDRAM support and 533 MHz FSB support.[4]
