Controller Hub chipset. It features AGP4X/8X VGA, Serial ATA I/F, Gigabit
Ethernet, and USB v2.0 I/F. It supports two PCI/PCI-X busses via the Intel
6300ESB chipset (one PCI-X 64-bit/66MHz bus and one PCI 32-bit/33MHz
bus). The NuPRO-850 is designed to run under Windows 2000/XP and Linux
operating systems as well as in embedded real time applications.
The NuPRO-850 is a System Host Board with premium computing
performance powered by an Intel® Pentium® 4 processor. The CPU module
supports a front side bus (FSB) of 533/800MHz and a maximum CPU clock
speed of 3.4GHz featuring 64-bit/66MHz PCI/PCI-X bus with up to 4GB high
performance DDR host SDRAM support.
It provides input/output via RS-232, four USB 2.0 ports, Dual IDE Channels
with ATA 100/66/33, Onboard Gigabit Ethernet, and video interfaces for LVDS
