Intel® Q965 Express Chipset for Embedded Computing

The Intel® Q965 Express chipset offers features that specifically address key requirements of many embedded computing designs, including memory performance, graphics, manageability, responsiveness, noise reduction and data protection. When combined with the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E6400¹ or E4300¹, it creates an impressive platform that can help embedded equipment manufacturers deploy more responsive, high-performance, low-power systems for interactive clients (i.e., point-of-sale terminals and ATMs), industrial control and automation, gaming, digital security surveillance, and medical imaging applications.

Features & benefits

1066/800/533 MHz System Bus
Supports the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E6400¹, Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E4300¹, Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 651 and Intel® Celeron® D processor 352

PCI Express* Interfaces
PCI Express x16 graphics interface in the GMCH supports the latest high-performance graphics cards
PCI Express x1 I/O ports in the ICH offer up to 3.5X the bandwidth over traditional PCI architecture, delivering faster access to peripheral I/O devices

Intel® Fast Memory Access (Intel® FMA)
Helps improve system performance by optimizing use of available memory bandwidth and reducing latency of memory access by monitoring all pending read/write requests; allows safe and efficient overlapping of commands on all system bus interfaces

Dual-Channel DDR2 Memory Support
Delivers up to 12.8 GB/s of bandwidth and 8 GB memory addressability for faster system responsiveness with support for 64-bit computing
Supports up to four DIMMS, two devices per channel (DDR2 800/667/533 MHz)

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000 (Intel® GMA 3000)
Delivers richer visual color and picture clarity without the need for additional discrete graphics cards
Dual independent display expands viewable workspace for devices such as point-of-sale terminals with two monitors
Provides next-generation graphics performance for advanced embedded operating systems
