Introduction
The M-855 series combines the high performance and exceptional value of the Intel®
855GME chipset with a full-featured, next generation, industrial board. The Intel®
855GME advanced chipset supports socket 478-pins Intel®Pentium®M processors
ranging from 1.30GHz to 1.80GHz, and up to 2GB DDR SDRAM memory on its
400/533MHz FSB. It includes an integrated LVDS and VGA, an onboard Intel®82541
Gigabit Ethernet controller (supporting 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet), audio
line-out, four COM ports, two internal USB2.0 ports, 2 SATA ports, and a
CompactFlash™ type II connector. M-855 uses include ATM, CTI, KIOSK, POS, and
other high-end applications.
The 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4) employs the Intel®Accelerated Hub
Architecture to make a direct connection from the graphics chip and memory to the
integrated Ethernet controller, IDE controllers (ATA/33, ATA/66, or ATA/100), and six
USB ports.
The M-855 industrial board supports Windows®98/NT/2000/XP and Linux®operation
system.
