Introduction

Product Description


The MB899X Mini ITX board incorporates the Mobile Intel® 945GME
Express Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel®
945GME 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 170mm x 170mm.

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, is validated
with the Intel® Core Duo and Intel® Core Solo processors on 65nm
process. With dual channel DDR2 667MHz two DIMM socket on board,
the board supports up to 4GB of DDR2 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 (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:

Supports Intel® Core™ 2 Duo (Merom-Napa Refresh),
Intel® Core™ Duo/Solo mobile processors
Supports up to 2.33GHz, 533MHz/667MHz FSB
Two DDR2 SDRAM DIMM, Max. 4GB memory
