WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:10.280
so today as part of my retro unboxing series I'm going to be unboxing the

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:13.200
Intel Desktop Board d850 MD this is for

00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:19.760
the Intel Pentium 4 processor technology for The Cutting Edge of the internet so

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.920
this product is uh definitely engineered

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.800
to make the best use of The Cutting Edge of the internet okay so that means that

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:31.880
it includes

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:34.960
Lan Intel Pro 100 land connection Norton

00:00:31.880 --> 00:00:39.440
Internet Security soundmax with SPX

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:42.480
audio and four back panel USB 1.1 ports

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.039
check that out it also has NTI CD maker

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:50.760
2000 this product is intended to be professionally installed so um unless

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:56.359
you're a professional don't install it I guess is what they're trying to say okay

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.920
so it the d850 MD combines solid

00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:03.879
performance with support for Intel Pentium 4 processors in in the 478 pin

00:01:01.879 --> 00:01:09.320
socket designed with the Intel 850 chipset harnesses the full bandwidth and

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:15.600
performance of Rd RAM memory into a microatx form factor awesome so R dims

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:23.439
that means we've got support for dual rambus Channels with four RDM sockets

00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:24.840
for pc800 and PC 600 Rd RAM up to 2 gab

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:31.560
okay we have a communication and networking Riser support an AGP

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:35.159
connector Intel rapid bio boot Ultra

00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:38.040
fast ATA 100 that's pretty Ultra fast

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:43.119
and then we have three PCI slots okay is there anything else on here that could

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:47.079
be relevant no I don't think so why

00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:50.280
don't we go ahead and get this baby open

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:53.799
you can see it's got like some some cool

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:55.159
text on the front about 400 MHz front

00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:00.719
side bus yeah the front side bus is is dead

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:04.960
and gone okay so inside find an IO Shield which looks very much like the io

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.479
Shields that we have today then we have an Intel Desktop Board I'll say the

00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:13.360
usual thing even though I don't know how applicable it is you should download the

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.080
latest drivers off the Intel website uh

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:19.239
if they still have drivers available for this board you can see that the sticker

00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:24.239
is actually a little bit yellowed like for for context there's something white

00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:27.720
next to it so uh this gives us the general layout of the motherboard I

00:02:25.959 --> 00:02:33.480
can't tell which way is actually up maybe it's this way yeah there we go so

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.080
uh Rim connector secondary IDE primary

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:43.280
IDE AGP socket okay that's pretty good next

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:45.480
we have the quick reference guide oo

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:49.879
interesting installing the io Shield H I don't know how much

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.440
interesting stuff is going to be in here maybe something about the warranty so I

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:57.080
can talk about how the warranty is definitely gone H it's in a few

00:02:55.239 --> 00:03:00.159
different languages okay let's lose that we'll have a look at the board itself

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:05.400
shortly okay we've got a couple of ID cables and one floppy cable there's the

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:09.680
floppy cable oo gray cables how veryy '90s

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:11.560
and we've got a couple of IDE cables ah

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.720
high-tech okay so you can see one of the IDE cables is an 80 Pin cable that means

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:21.040
that one out of every two of these cables are actually just uh blanks

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:25.560
they're ground cables and those are intended to uh prevent interference from

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:31.720
one cable to the next so that's for high-speed ATA 100 connections whereas

00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:35.920
this for Optical drives is a 40 pin connector so even though they have the

00:03:33.200 --> 00:03:40.959
same connection they um this one's not optimized for low interference there

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:46.159
there's your um oh I don't know what this is I haven't seen this before this

00:03:43.720 --> 00:03:51.040
is actually a little bit before my day to be perfectly honest with you so I'm

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:55.040
not going to be able to provide quite the amount of insight that I would

00:03:52.799 --> 00:04:00.439
normally be able to with a retro unboxing because this is too retro even

00:03:57.799 --> 00:04:05.120
for me so okay oh okay this was mentioned on the front of the box so

00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:07.560
this is some kind of um like fastener

00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:12.519
for the AGP card see normally we have these built-in these days but this seems

00:04:10.079 --> 00:04:16.959
to be like a like a not built-in one so you put it onto the onto the connector

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:22.880
or something okay I'm not going to force it because even though it's old I don't really want to break it okay so let's

00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:28.960
see what do we got we got a socket 478 supporting The Cutting Edge Pentium 4

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:31.720
internet processor then we've got four

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:31.720
um

00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:41.280
I'm going to cheat what is this for yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah sorry four

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:43.919
Rd RAM slot supporting dual Channel 20

00:04:41.280 --> 00:04:50.160
pin ATX connector there's your floppy connector two ID connectors for up to

00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:54.720
four hard drives uh presumably supporting raid but you know what aboard

00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:59.400
this old no probably not probably no rate support okay and then we've got ah

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:04.919
an internal USB header so you can hook up Cutting Edge front USB and then

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:10.039
you've got a fan header a motherboard battery and then some jumpers that's

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:15.919
probably clear seos that says config maybe it's to config the BIOS I don't

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:18.360
know what this is and I don't know what

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:24.800
this is that's okay then we have three PCI slots because this is well before

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.080
PCI Express took off and an AGP slot so

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:31.400
that means that we can hook up our Cutting Edge directex 9 or seven or

00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:36.800
eight graphics card then we have a North Bridge um chipset cooler which seems to

00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:41.880
have like a hold down on it so that oh that comes off so you can actually let

00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:45.360
me see well I mean you know it's not like anyone's going to care if I damage

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.560
this thing so I'll just there we go okay so you can actually take off the

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:53.960
Northbridge heat sink that easily and let's have a look at the date on this

00:05:51.080 --> 00:06:01.280
chip here you can see that it is marked Intel 00 so this is from 2000 that's

00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:06.880
when that chip was manufactured very cool very uh very internet Cutting Edge

00:06:04.919 --> 00:06:11.680
okay so um let's see what else we've got on this motherboard here we've got an

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:16.560
Intel P4 connector that's a four pin connector and then I think that pretty

00:06:13.919 --> 00:06:21.000
much takes care of what we've got on the top of the board now here's the I/O

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:26.639
panel we've got a PS2 keyboard and mouse two USB 1.1 ports a couple serial ports

00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:32.080
a printer port haven't seen one of those in a while a couple more USB 1.1 ports

00:06:29.960 --> 00:06:38.039
there that's your internet connection very cool how highte and then we've got

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:41.479
support for I believe they're saying 5.1

00:06:38.039 --> 00:06:44.199
audio no ac97 I don't think that is even

00:06:41.479 --> 00:06:50.680
configurable to 5.1 so there's mic and then line out and then uh speakers

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.680
excellent thank you for checking out
