On the other hand, the birth of Intel Pentium 4 processor is deemed to replace Pentium III and become the mainstream solution for high-end platforms in a gradual process though. Intel has, targeting at promoting Pentium 4 to be the dominant selection on the mainstream market, released Chipset 845 in order to provide a wide-spread solution for SDRAM that goes with Pentium 4. It aims at evading the limitation by costly RAMBUS and thereby pushing forward its promotion of Pentium 4 and creating more choices for users.

Legend QDI Platinix2 Mainboard supports stitch packed 478 pins Intel Pentium 4 processor. It has 400MHz FSB, 3 SDRAM DIMM slots, and supports maximum 3 GB memory capacity. The ATX large-sized board also provides 6 PCI slots, 1 CNR slot and 1 AGP slot. P2-A has onboard AC’97 sound effect. P2-L provides facilities for 10/100Mbps Ethernet communications. With its Intel 82559 core built in the south bridge, 82562ET interface is all that is needed for accessing the high-quality Intel network.

In addition to the five Easy technologies such as ManageEasy, RecoveryEasy and so on, Platinix2 Mainboard is embodied with Legend QDI most updated unique technologies--StepEasy and BootEasy. StepEasy can accomplish infinitely variable frequency in Windows operation system while BootEasy shall boost PC booting speed to a large extent, creating an a highway for PC start.
