Introduction

Product Description

The ECX800 ECX (Embedded Compact Extended) board incorporates

the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset for Embedded Computing,

consisting of the Intel® 945GM 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 105mm x 146mm.

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/Solo on 65nm process. With DDR2 667MHz

SO-DIMM socket on board, the board supports up to 2GB 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

Duo/Solo processors

 Supports up to 667MHz FSB

 One DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM, Max. 2GB memory

 Onboard Marvell PCI-Express Gigabit LAN
