1.1 Overview
Figure 1-1: PICOe-GM45A
1.1.1 PICOe-GM45A Introduction
The PICOe-GM45A half-size PCIe CPU card is a Socket P Intel® Core™2 Duo and Intel®
Celeron® M processor platform. Both 45nm core (Penryn) and 65nm core (Merom –
Santa Rosa) processors are supported.
Up to two 2.0 GB 667 MHz or 800 MHz un-buffered DDR2 SDRAM DIMM are supported
by the Intel® GM45 graphics memory controller hub (GMCH). The Intel® GM45 GMCH
also supports 18-bit or 24-bit dual-channel LVDS, analog CRT and HDTV output.
The integrated Intel® ICH9M I/O controller hub (ICH) supports four SATA II drives with
data transfer speeds of 3.0 Gbps. Seven USB 2.0 channels, four expansion PCIe x1
channels and four expansion PCI channels provide flexible expansion options. High
Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures an HDA audio kit can be easily implemented on
the PICOe-GM45A.
