Introduction

Product Description

The ET900 board incorporates the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel® 945GM Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub 7-M (ICH7-M), an optimized integrated graphics solution with a 533MHz and 667MHz front-side bus. Dimensions of the board are 95mm x 125mm.

The integrated powerful 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (Intel® GMA 950) architecture, operates at core speeds of up to 400 MHz. It features a low-power design and is validated with the Intel® Core Duo/Solo on 65nm process. With DDR2 667MHz SO-DIMM socket on board, the board supports up to 2GB of DDR2 system memory.

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 supports a unique intelligent memory management scheme called Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). DVMT handles diverse applications by providing the maximum (224MB) availability of system memory for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics memory when a 3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA 950 graphics architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel processor. Intel GMA 950 graphics supports Dual Independent Display technology.

The main features of the board are:

ƒSupports COM ETX Type II Module pin-out definitions

ƒSupports Intel® CoreTM Duo/Solo processors

ƒSupports up to 533/667MHz FSB

ƒOne DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM, Max. 2GB
