  • Overview Technical Documents Tools & Software Where to buy
The Intel® Q965 Express Chipset development kit

The Intel® Q965 Express Chipset development kit delivers outstanding next-generation graphics performance with innovative features for interactive client and embedded computing solutions. It integrates Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3000 (Intel® GMA 3000) and PCI Express* x16 external graphics, and supports Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT)¹ with system defense.

The Intel Q965 Express Chipset platform with LGA-775 package provides scalable performance and an ideal price or performance solution for embedded computing applications. The Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E6400² at 2.13 GHz with 1066 MHz front-side bus (FSB) enhances the microarchitecture with Intel® 64 technology (Intel® 64)³ to support 64-bit computing needs. It meets the current and future demands of high-performance, embedded computing while remaining software-compatible with previous members of the Intel® microprocessor family.

¹ Intel® Active Management Technology requires a system with an Intel® Q965 Express Chipset with ICH8 DO, Intel® 82566DM with Intel® PRO/1000 PM network connection, and appropriate third-party software. The system must be plugged into a power source and connected to a LAN.


² Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.


³ 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
