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 1
46
mm.
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 LV 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.
