Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 945GCD-I330 motherboard of great performance and
with enhanced function. The motherboard has onboard Intel
®
Dual Core Atom
TM
330
processor with a Mini-ITX form factor of 170 x 170 mm.
The motherboard incorporates the 945GC Northbridge (NB) and ICH7 Southbridge
(SB) chipsets. The Northbridge supports a Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of 533
MHz using a scala
ble FSB Vcc_CPU. The memory controller supports DDR2 memory
DIMM frequency of 533. It supports one DDR2 socket with up to maximum memory
of 2 GB.
The board has one PCI slot which is PCI v2.3 compliant. It implements an EHCI
compliant interface that provides 480 Mb/s bandwidth for 8 USB 2.0 ports (4 USB
ports and 2 USB 2.0 headers support additional 4 USB ports). The Southbridge inte-
grates a Seri
al ATA host controller, supporting two SATA ports with maximum
transfer rate up to 3.0 Gb/s each.
The motherboard is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel,
including PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, COM, LPT1, one VGA port, four
USB ports, one LAN port and audio jacks for microphone, line-in and line-out.
