MI-965

1.6 Functional Description

Processor Support

The MI-965 motherboard features the Socket P interface designed

for Intel processors in the Micro-FCPGA package. The mother-

board features a powerful 533/800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).

Providing high-performance computing and energy-efficiency, the

MI-965 is designed for the next-generation Intel® Core 2 Duo and

Celeron® processors based on 65nm process technology. The MI-

965 supports dual-core processing when deployed with a CPU

containing two physical cores and dedicated L2 caches to meet

the ever-increasing demands of industrial computing.

Intel® GME965 Express chipset

The Intel® GME965 Express chipset, featuring the Intel® GME965

graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) and the Intel® ICH8M

I/O controller hub, provides the vital interfaces for the mother-

board. The Intel® GME965 comes with the Intel® Graphics Media

Accelerator X3100, an integrated graphics engine with enhanced

3D/2D graphics rendering and video capabilities. The GMCH also

provides the interface for the processor and system memory.

The Intel® ICH8-M Southbridge is the eighth generation of Intel

I/O controller hub that provides key interfaces such as PCI

Express®, USB 2.0, and SATA II.

Dual-channel DDR2 memory

To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the

MI-965 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting DDR2

533/667 MHz DIMMs. The high-bandwidth memory specification,

meets the requirements of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and

network application, and boosts system performance by eliminat-

ing bottlenecks.

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 revolution-

izes integrated graphics with new capabilities that provide signifi-

cant increase in graphics performance. With support for DirectX 9
