1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: NANO-GM45A2
The NANO-GM45A2 EPIC motherboard is a Socket P Intel® Core™2 Duo processor with
1066/800 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) and Intel® Celeron® M processor with 667 MHz FSB
platform.
Up to two 4.0 GB 1066 MHz or 800 MHz un-buffered DDR3 SDRAM SO-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, HDMI and HDTV
output.
The integrated Intel® ICH9M I/O controller hub (ICH) supports two SATA 3Gb/s drives
with data transfer speeds of 3.0 Gbps. Four USB 2.0 channels and one expansion PCIe
mini socket provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support
ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the NANO-GM45A2.
