Chapter 1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
FE-97G is the Full-size PICMG 1.0 CPU Card, with Intel® Atom N270 processor for
533 MHz front side bus, Intel® 945GSE and ICH7M chipset, integrated GMA950
graphics, DDR2 SO-DIMM memory, Realtek AC97 Audio, Serial ATA and two Intel®
82574L Gigabit LAN.
Intel Atom Processor
The Intel® Atom N270 single core processor is with 533 MHz front side bus, 512KB
L2 cache. It's built on 45nm process technology support Hyper-Threading
Technology, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology reduces average system
power consumption.
Mobile Intel® 945GSE chipset
The board integrates Intel® 945GSE and ICH7M chipset. The chipset features
power-efficient graphics with an integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine based on
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 architecture with LVDS, CRT, and
TV-Out display ports. It provides I/O capabilities and flexibility via high-bandwidth
interfaces such as PCI, Serial ATA and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity. It also
includes a single channel for 400/533 MHz DDR2 system memory (SODIMM), HD
Audio with 7.1channels surrounding sound.
