Introduction of Intel 945GM Express Chipset Motherboards
1-1 Feature of motherboard
The Intel 945GM chipset motherboard series are based on the latest Intel 945GM Express
Chipset and Intel FW82801GBM ICH Chipset technology which supports the socket 479m
compatible innovative 65nm Core 2 Duo and Core Solo series, 90nm Dual-Core Intel® Core
Duo series and Intel® Celeron M Processor with Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology. The
motherboard is optimized to deliver innovative features and professional desktop platform
solution with the advantages of the new generation dual core processor for those who demand
the best experience of personal computing.
The Intel 945GM Express chipset motherboard series for Intel® Core 2 Duo® Mobile
Processor are absolutely the cost-effective solution for industrial computing applications, and
it also meets the demanding usage of computing of multimedia entertainment and business
applications. Moreover, the Intel 945GM express chipset incorporates Intel Graphics Media
Accelerator 950 which supports the Microsoft* DirectX* 9.0c, Vertex Shader 3.0 and
Transform and Lighting provides incredible visual quality, faster graphics performance and
flexible display options without the need for a separate graphics card.
The motherboards implement Intel 945GM Express Chipset which supports Front Side Bus
667/533 MHz of data transferring and offers with 333 / 266 MHz memory clock frequency for
Dual channel DDR2 667 / 533 MHz memory DIMMs which are expandable to 2.0GB to
double the performance of memory access. The motherboard is embedded with ICH7M
chipset of providing one parallel Ultra ATA 100 interface for two IDE drives and two serial
ATA2 interface of 3.0Gb / s data transfer rate for two serial ATA devices.
The motherboards offer one 32-bit PCI and one Mini-PCI slots guarantee the rich connectivity
for the I/O of peripherals. One optional Mini-PCI Express x1 I/O slot offers 512Mbyte/sec
concurrently bandwidth which is over 3.5 times than 32-bit PCI at 133Mbye/sec; the
motherboards are designed of tackling the future requirements of industrial computing.
The motherboards provide dual 10 / 100 / 1000 Ethernet compatible LAN function by using
the Realtek RTL8111B Gigabit LAN NIC which supports 10M / 100M / 1000M data transfer
rate. The motherboard series also have an integrated 6-channel High Definition Audio Codec
on board which is fully compatible with Sound Blaster Pro
®
that gives you the best sound
quality and compatibility.
Embedded USB and optional VIA 6307 IEEE1394 controllers as well as capability of
expanding to 6 of USB 2.0 functional ports and 1 of IEEE1394 9-pin block delivering
480Mb/s and 400 Mb/s bandwidth of rich connectivity, these motherboards meet the future
USB demands which are also equipped with hardware monitor function on system to monitor
and protect your system and maintain your non-stop business computing.
