2.4 Intel® 945GSE Northbridge Chip

The Intel® 945GSE is connected to the 1.6 GHz Intel® ATOM™ N270 CPU through the

FSB and to the Intel® ICH7M Southbridge through the DMI. The Intel® 945GSE is

connected to the SO-DIMM and supports DDR2 memory. The Intel® 945GSE also

provides graphics capabilities (described elsewhere). The Intel® 945GSE and its

connections are shown in Figure 2-4.

2.4.1 DDR2 Controller

There is one 200-pin DDR2 SO-DIMM socket on the ICE-945GSE. The socket supports

DDR2 SO-DIMM with the following specifications:

Maximum Memory supported 2 GB

Support for DDR2 at 400 MHz and 533 MHz

No support for Dual-Channel Interleaved mode of operation

Enhanced Addressing support (Swap only)

The SO-DIMM socket is shown in Figure 2-4.
