Refer to the Intel Pentium 4 Processor Specification Update (Order Number 249199) for specification
updates concerning the Intel Pentium 4 processor and that may apply to the desktop board D850EMV2.
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping
are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.

Refer to the Intel 82850 Chipset Family: 82850/82850E Memory Controller Hub (MCH) Specification Update
(Order Number 298247) for specification updates concerning the 82850/82850E MCH Controller and that
may apply to the desktop board D850EMV2. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed
that any MCH errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated
with that stepping.

Refer to the Intel 82801BA I/O Controller Hub (ICH) Specification Update (Order Number 290677) for
specification updates concerning the 82801 I/O Controller Hub and that may apply to the desktop board
D850EMV2. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any 82801BA I/O Controller
Hub (ICH) errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with
that stepping.
Nomenclature
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be
incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board D850EMV2's
behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any
given Altered Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all errata documented for that AA
and BIOS revision level are present on all desktop boards.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a specification's
impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the
specifications.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
