Chapter1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
FS-A70 is the Full-size single board computer with last Intel desktop technology with
PICMG1.3 form factor. Based on Intel®Q965 and ICH8DO, the board integrates a new
Core 2 Duo/Quad processor 775-pin socket, DDR2 memory socket, Intel®Graphic Media
Accelerator 3000 technology, Serial ATA II with RAID function for a powerful desktop
system.
Intel®LGA775 processor
The Intel®Core 2 Duo/Quad processor now comes with a new form factor with 775-pin
PLGA package, for 533/800/1066MHz front-side-bus, 4MB L2 cache, and for 65nm
manufacturing technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on solder side can make
user installing the processor on the socket easier.
Intel®Q965 and ICH8DO chipset
The Intel Q965 integrates DDR2 533/667/800MHz for memory, and Graphic Media
Accelerator (GMA) 3000 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 256MB of
frame buffer when you install over 1GB of system memory. The ICH8DO integrates with up
to 10 USB2.0 interfaces, and serial ATA II interface with RAID function.
Flexible Extension Interface
The board provides one mini-PCI socket.
