Technical Summary
This MSI dual Prestonia processor motherboard, documented under number 200 revision 1.0 dated September 30, 2003, is built around the Intel Placer chipset with an ICH4 southbridge. The platform supports dual Socket 604 processors and features an AGP 8X/4X graphics interface. System memory consists of four DDR DIMM slots. The board utilizes three 8Mbit FWH devices for BIOS storage. The Super I/O and embedded controller functions are handled by a PC87366. Audio is provided by an AD1885 AC'97 codec, and networking is via a Broadcom 5703 Gigabit LAN controller. Storage connectivity includes an LSI/53C1030 SCSI chip, IDE primary and secondary channels, and a floppy controller. Expansion is supported through PCI 32 slots, PCI-X slots, a Mini PCI slot, and an AGP 8X connector.
