Flexible Small Form Factor Board Design Using the Intel® 855GME and Intel® 852GM Graphics Memory Controller Hubs
Intel chipsets are widely used as the building block for small form factor
design by third party board vendors. The Intel® 855GME Graphics
Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® 852GM GMCH are good
embedded small form factor solutions with low BOM costs. Because both GMCHs share similar features and both are physically and electrically compatible, it is clear that a flexible system board design for small form factor should be possible. This document will attempt to outline the minimal BOM, layout, and schematic changes required to achieve this. This implementation will lower inventory expenses, shorten design time, and speed up feature integration.
