Tweakers Australia has posted a review of the Intel D850EMV2 motherboard, based on the i850E chipset.
The Intel Desktop Board D850EMV2 is the official 850E reference board intended for use as a testing platform for both the Pentium 4 2.4G 533MHz processor and the 850E chipset itself. The board design is fairly plain and simple, and the feature list is somewhat short. It does however sport five PCI slots, one 1.5v AGP 4X slot, one CNR slot, and 2 dual-stacked back-panel USB 2.0 ports. As you can see, there are four RIMM sockets available on the board, with two sockets for each channel supporting 2GB of PC600 or PC800 ECC RDRAM. As I stated earlier, the i850E chipset doesn't support PC1066 officially, so of course the reference board does not have the necessary dividers in the BIOS for running PC1066 unofficially.Read more
