Intel® 945G Express Chipset Development Kit User's Manual Development Kit Features 2.1.1 Table 3 Intel® 945G Express Platform Features and Benefits The 945G Express platform is designed to support several processor types: Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor on 90nm Process in the 775-land LGA Package and the Intel® Celeron® D Processor. The only processor included in this development kit will be the Pentium 4 processor. The Intel 945G Express Chipset includes the Intel® 82945G (G)MCH and Intel® 82801GB ICH7 or Intel® 82801GR ICH7R (not offered in the development kit). The following table lists the major features present on the Intel® 945G Express platform. Section 2.1.2 will summarize the development kit features. Key Features and Benefits of the Intel® 945G Express Platform Features 800/533 MHz FSB PCI Express Interface Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 Intel® High Definition Audio Intel® Matrix Storage Technology Intel® Active Management Technology Serial ATA (SATA-II) 1.5/3 Gb/s Dual Channel DDR2, 533/667 MHz Intel® Flex Memory Technology Benefits Supports the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology† and the Intel® Celeron® D Processor (not offered in this development kit) in the LGA775 socket, with scalability for future processor innovations. The PCI Express x16 graphics interface delivers more than 3.5 times the bandwidth over a traditional AGP 8X interface and supports the latest high-performance graphics cards. The PCI Express x1 I/O ports offer 3.5 times the bandwidth over traditional PCI architecture, delivering faster access to peripheral devices and networking. Delivers rich visual color and picture clarity without the need for additional discrete graphics cards. Integrated audio support enables premium home theater sound and delivers advanced features such as multiple audio streams and jack re-tasking. The Dolby* PC Entertainment Experience is available exclusively on systems with Intel® High Definition Audio. Provides quicker file access with RAID 0, 5, and 10, and protection against data loss from a hard disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5, and 10. This feature requires the ICH7R (not offered in the development kit). Enables remote, down-the-wire management of out-of-band networked systems regardless of system state. Helps improve IT efficiency, asset management and system security and availability. High-speed storage interface supports faster transfer rate for improved data access. Delivers up to 10.7 GB/s of bandwidth and 4 GB memory addressability for faster system responsiveness and support of 64-bit computing. Facilitates easier upgrades by allowing different memory sizes to be populated and remain in dual-channel mode. 12 Reference #308823
