865 motherboard

Introduction

In late May 2003, Intel released a chipset developed code-named Springdale (product models i865PE, i865G, i865P). The Springdale chipset is subdivided into three types, namely Springdale-PE (i865PE) for high-end, Springdale-G (i865G) for mainstream integration market, and Springdale-P (i865P) for low-end and mid-range markets.

Springdale-P(865P): Support 533Mhz Pentium 4, maximum 4GB dual/single channel DDR266/333 memory, AGP 8X, GbE, ICH5 , 8 USB 2.0 ports, serial ATA 150;

Springdale-PE(865PE), Springdale-G(865G): Support 800Mhz Pentium 4, maximum 4GB dual/single channel DDR266/333/400 memory, AGP 8X, GbE, ICH5, 8 USB 2.0 ports, integrated graphics processing kernel, serial ATA 150;

The 865G chipset is optimized for systems based on the Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading (HT) technology, providing excellent flexibility, excellent system performance and fast response Ability. Intel stable image technology greatly simplifies software image management. It supports dual-channel DDR400, DDR333 and DDR266 SDRAM memory, and supports a full range of INTEL CPUs with 478 interface. The communication flow architecture with a dedicated network bus (DNB) provides a direct network activity path for the system memory for storing network data, which can eliminate PCI bottlenecks and ease the load of input/output (I/O) devices, so that users can enjoy A true Gigabit Ethernet experience. To put it simply, it is a serial number given by the Intel Corporation to the motherboard, but this serial number has its special meaning, it is a model, what function does this model have, 865 is only the total of this model, such as 865PE and so on. There are two important chips on the motherboard, the South Bridge and the North Bridge, and the 865 motherboard uses Intel's 865 North Bridge chipset, so it is also called the 865 motherboard. The South Bridge matched with the 865 is the ICH5 series.

As we all know, the new generation of Intel CPU is replaced by LGA 775 package, which is also to facilitate the new generation of Prescott Pentium 4 to achieve higher frequency. Intel has made great efforts to promote the LGA 775 architecture (including a complete system of LGA 775 CPU, 9 series chipset motherboard, PCI-E graphics card and SATA hard disk). Perhaps because of its promotion strategy, the same frequency CPU on the market, LGA 775 package is cheaper than Socket478 package. In response to this situation, ASUS introduced a P5P800 i865PE chipset motherboard with an LGA 775 CPU. The purpose is obvious, using the relatively cheap i865PE chipset and AGP graphics card, combined with the relatively cheap LGA 775 CPU, to build a cost-effective platform. The design style of P5P800 is very similar to ASUS P4P800 series (i865PE motherboard with Socket 478 interface). The difference is that the CPU socket is replaced with LGA 775. This one is relatively simple in design and does not have many additional functions. The ICH chip is 82801EB, does not support SATA RAID, onboard 2 PATA channels and 2 SATA channels, 4 USB ports, 3 common audio I/O ports and coaxial SPDIF ports.

The core of Soeket775 Pentium4 is still Preseott. Compared with Soeket478Pentium4, only the interface is changed. Therefore, 865PE and 1875P do not have the technical difficulty of supporting Soeket775 processor. The electrical performance of the future P4 processor determines that the power supply part of the 865PE/875P motherboard must be redesigned to meet Intel's VRM10 and FMBZ.O standards for the Soeket775Pentium4 processor and its supporting motherboard, with a current output of up to 123A Ability. The other aspects are consistent with the traditional 865p and 875P motherboards: AGPS, .Dua, DDR, PATA+SATA freely match.

Some new 865 motherboards have been improved to support CORE, which is not supported by 915. However, because they are still old motherboard chipsets, there is almost no upgrade potential available, so they are not recommended, and there are very few DIY markets. Buy, sales are also very low. However, some brand-name machines (OEM) are in use, so pay special attention when purchasing.
