I
2
C bus connection support
•
Supports Intel High Definition Audio (HDA) and AC'97 2.3 CODEC
•
Low pin count (LPC) interface
•
609 ball micro-FCBGA package, 31mm x 31mm x 2.28mm
Note:
The integrated LAN controller on the ICH6-M has been disabled. Ethernet support is
however provided by the external Intel 82573V Gigabit Ethernet controller, which is
implemented via one PCI Express x1 interface.
Video
Based on the GMCH Express chipset, CE915GM modules are capable of supporting
discrete graphics using PCI Express, analog CRT, LVDS interface, TV-Out, and SDVO output
as described in this section, as well as digital video display if your carrier board has a DVI
chipset.
Note:
Actual display options for your system may be limited by the feature set of your
particular carrier board.
PCI Express graphics
CE915GM modules support a 16-lane PCI Express slot intended for a PCI Express graphics
card. Features of the x16 PCI Express graphics slot include:
•
Compliant with the
PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.0
.
•
Operates at a raw bit-rate of 2.5Gb/s on each lane while employing 8b/10b encoding
to transmit data across the interface.
•
Supports a graphics bandwidth of up to 4GB/s per direction.
