LV-67A User’s Manual Introduction
Product Specification 7
Chapter1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
LV-67A is the motherboard with last Intel desktop technology with Mini-ITX form factor.
Based on Intel®Q45 and ICH10DO, the board integrates a new Core 2 Quad / Core 2 Duo
Celeron processor 775-pin socket, DDR3 memory socket, Intel®Graphic Media Accelerator
4500 technology, Serial ATA II with RAID function for a powerful desktop system.
Intel®LGA775 processor
The Intel® Core 2 Quad / Core 2 Duo / Celeron processor now comes with a new form
factor with 775-pin PLGA package, for 800/1066/1333MHz front-side-bus, 12MB L2 cache,
for 65nm and 45nm manufacturing technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on
solder side can make user installing the processor on the socket easier.
Intel®Q45 and ICH10DO chipset
The Intel Q45 integrates DDR3 800/1066MHz for memory, and Graphic Media Accelerator
(GMA) 4500 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 1024MB of frame
buffer when you install over 1GB of system memory. The ICH10DO integrates with up to 8
USB2.0 interfaces, and serial ATA II interface with RAID function.
Flexible Extension Interface
The board provides one PCI-slot for graphics card, it also can support PCI-slot for LAN card
or other devices. The board also provides mini-PCI socket.
