Introduction
Product Description
The MI946F 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® GMA4500MHD) 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 two SoDIMM sockets
supporting dual channel DDR3 1066MHz 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 (384MB) availability of system memory
for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics memory when a
3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA4500MHD graphics
architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel processor. Intel
GMA4500MHD graphics supports Dual Independent Display technology.
The main features of the board are:

