1.1 Introduction

The EMB-900M is AAEON' s first board that supports Intel 915GV
®
Express chipset. This is important breakthroughs for AAEON in the
®
industrial environment domain.
High-Quality and Extreme Performance
With the flexibility to support the Intel Pentium 4 processor 550 with HT
® ®
Technology and Intel Celeron D processor 340, the EMB-900M can offer
® ®
a scalable solution across different processing speeds. The EMB-900M also
provides an improved performance over previous solutions by incorporating
the Intel 915GV Express chipset. The DDR2 and PCI Express interface
®
are the newest technologies that allow the EMB-900M to provide very
high-speed bus bandwidth. By using PCI Express interface and adding
192KHz/7.1 Channel HD Audio, the EMB-900M can bring a significant
increase in audio and visual performance in various applications. The
extended life motherboards that AAEON supplies to the industrial markets
offer functionality not available in off-the-shelf consumer motherboards,
such as High-Bandwidth Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity, 4 COM Ports and
optional ISA expansion slot.
Multimedia Function
The EMB-900M can be broadly implemented in various applications. It is
suitable for High-end POS/ KIOSK by taking advantage of the Intel
®
®
Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel GMA 900). It is also suitable for
Gigabit firewall and security applications thanks to its Gigabit-Ethernet
