Introduction

Product Description

The MI945X Mini ITX board incorporates the Mobile Intel® GM45 Express

Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel® GM45 Graphic

Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub (ICH9-M), an

optimized integrated graphics solution with a 1066MHz and 800MHz front-side

bus. Dimensions of the board are 170mm x 170mm.

The integrated powerful 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media

Accelerator X3500 (Intel® GMA X3500) architecture, operates at core speeds of

up to 533 MHz. It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel® Core

2 Duo processors on 45nm process. With dual channel DDR3 800/1066MHz

two SODIMM sockets on board, the board supports up to 4GB of 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 (384MB) availability of system

memory for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics

memory when a 3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA X3500

graphics architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel

processor. Intel GMA X3500 graphics supports Dual Independent Display

technology.

The main features of the board are:

Supports Intel® Mobile Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad Processor (Penryn)

Supports up to 2.93GHz, 1066MHz/800MHz FSB

Two DDR3 SoDIMM, Max. 4GB memory

Onboard Gigabit PHY and Intel PCI-Express Gigabit LAN

Intel® GM45 Express VGA for CRT / LVDS

4x SATA, 8x USB 2.0, 4x COM, Watchdog timer

1x Mini PCI-E (Mini Card), 1x PCI-E (x16) slots
