Introduction

Product Description

The IB868 PICMG1.3 SHB board incorporates the Mobile Intel® 915GM Express Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel® 915GM Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub 6-M (ICH6-M), is an optimized integrated graphics solution with a 400 MHz and 533 MHz front-side bus.

The integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel® GMA 900) architecture, operates at core speeds of up to 320 MHz. It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel® Pentium® M and Intel® Celeron® M processors on 90nm process. With two DIMM socket on board, the board supports up to 2GB of DDR2 533 MHz system memory.

Intel® Graphics supports a unique intelligent memory management scheme called Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). DVMT handles diverse applications by providing the maximum availability of system memory for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics memory when a 3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA 900 graphics architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel processor. Intel GMA 900 graphics supports Dual Independent Display technology.

The main features of the board are:

§Supports Pentium® M / Celeron® M processors

§Two DDR2 SDRAM DIMM, Max. 2GB

§Onboard 10/100 BaseT, optional Gigabit Ethernet

§Intel® 915 Express VGA for CRT / LVDS

§6x USB 2.0, 2x COM, Watchdog timer, Digital I/O

§Optional backplane with 3x PCI-E(x1), 1x PCI-E (x16), 4x PCI slots

Dimensions of the board are 338mm x 126mm.
