1.1 Introduction
The PCM-8300 is AAEON’s latest low power consumption
solution featuring Intel®innovation. It adoptsIntel’s ®latest
Pentium®M chipset-Mobile Intel ®915GM Express Chipset,
which has been validated with Intel®Pentium®M CPUsand the
newest PCI-Express interface. Therefore the PCM-8300’s
peripheral transmission speed can upgrade effectively, especially
on multi-port Gigabit LAN applications. For these kinds of
applications, PCM-8300 has 2 Gigabit LAN ports onboardto
satisfy firewall and small data server demands.
The Greatest Performance on Multimedia applications
For multimedia applications, the Mobile Intel ®915GM Express
Chipset has a HDTV TV-out function built in the chipset. This
feature will be ofgood use in future KIOSK, advertisement, and
information display applications.
Versatile dual view combinations
Besides LCD support, PCM-8300 also allows customer to show
different content on CRT, LCD, DVI or TV (two of them) at the
same time. It meets dual view demands as the most
cost-effective display solution.
