Features
The Watchdog Timer function allows your
application to regularly “clear” the system at
the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will
reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to
operate.
The system board is equipped with the
CompactFlash
TM
socket for inser ting a
CompactFlash
TM
card. CompactFlash
TM
card is a small removable
mass storage device designed with flash technology - a non-volatile
storage solution that does not require a battery to retain data in-
definitely. The CompactFlash
TM
technology is widely used in products
such as por table and desktop computers, digital cameras, handheld
data collection scanners, PDAs, Pocket PCs, handy terminals and per-
sonal communicators.
DDR2 is a higher performance DDR technology
whose data transfer rate delivers bandwidth of 4.3
GB per second and beyond. That is twice the speed of the conven-
tional DDR without increasing its power consumption. DDR2
SDRAM modules work at 1.8V supply compared to 2.6V memory
voltage for DDR modules. DDR2 also incorporates new innovations
such as the On-Die Termination (ODT) as well as larger 4-bit pre-
fetch against DDR which fetches 2 bits per clock cycle.
The Intel 945GM/945GME northbridge chip comes
integrated with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator
950 delivering exceptional 3D graphics performance. It supports
analog CRT and LVDS interfaces.
The audio jacks at the rear panel will
support 5.1-channel audio only when the
audio utility is configured to support this function. The front audio’s
mic-in function will not work at this moment.
