Introduction

Product Description

The MI912 Mini ITX board incorporates the Mobile Intel

GME965 Express

Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel

GME965 Graphic

Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel

I/O Controller Hub (ICH8-M), an

optimized integrated graphics solution with a 533MHz and 800MHz front-side
bus. Dimensions of the board are 170mm x 170mm.

The integrated powerful 3D graphics engine, based on Intel

Graphics Media

Accelerator X3000 (Intel

GMA X3000) architecture, operates at core speeds of

up to 400 MHz. It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel® Core 2
Duo and Intel

Celeron processors on 65nm process. With dual channel DDR2

667MHz two DIMM sockets, the board supports up to 4GB 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 (384MB) availability of system memory
for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics memory when a
3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel

GMA X3000 graphics

architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel processor. Intel

GMA X3000 graphics supports Dual Independent Display technology.

The main features of the board are:


