Advansus, a joint-venture motherboard manufacturer of ASUS and Advantech, announces the roll out of i965GM-DCQI, an Intel® GME965 Mini-ITX motherboard designed for high definition video gaming machines and digital signage systems. The i965GM-DCQI Mini-ITX motherboard delivers excellent user experience with 3D graphics, dual-view display, dual audio streams, a 6 watt audio amplifier, dual LAN and an onboard Trusted Platform Module (TPM) providing a hardware cryptoprocessor for increased data security.

Graphics Performance
The i965GM-DCQI delivers advanced system performance, and accelerated graphics based on Intel® GME965 and IntelR Core™ 2 Duo mobile processors combined with high speed system memory of up to 4 GB dual channel DDR2 667 SDRAM. Leveraging Intel® Integrated GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) X3100 Graphics engine, the i965GM-DCQI supports DirectX 10, Pixel Shader 4.0, and performs 3D rendering at graphic core speeds up to 500 MHz with 384 MB of video memory.

Dual-Display & Dual-Stream Audio
The i965GM-DCQI's multimedia functionality is extremely versatile, offering dual channel 24-bit LVDS and DVI display with a built-in Chrontel CH7307C DVI transmitter. The motherboard supports dual view display with resolution of up to 2048 x 1536. The i965GM-DCQI uses Realtek’s ALC888 5.1 + 2 channel audio codec to provide two independent audio streams. Sound is further enhanced by the TPA3005D2 6 watt stereo amplifier, creating a wraparound effect from the two front channels.

Trusted Platform
The i965GM-DCQI's increased system security is provided by an Infineon SLB 9635 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chipset, which is used to ensure authenticity, and is able to withstand logical and physical attacks, protecting Internet transactions and communications in E-commerce environments.

Flexible I/O connectivity
The i965GM-DCQI provides dual LAN high speed network capability with Realtek's RTL8111B PCI-E Gigabit LAN controller. System engineers will find the i965GM-DCQI easy to configure offering a flexible array of peripheral support. It comes equipped with 10 USB ports, 3 SATA interfaces and one PCI expansion slot. An onboard 8-bit GPIO allows 8 general purpose input/output controls. One CompactFlash slot supports portable memory/storage. Four powered serial COM ports are ideal for connecting peripherals such as barcode scanners or debit/credit card readers with 5/12 volt output.

The i965GM-DCQI yields powerful yet energy-efficient performance based on Intel's latest mobile and graphic technologies. The motherboard offers flexible configuration for system development combining outstanding graphics, an integrated audio subsystem, I/O connectivity, high speed networking and enhanced security. It is an excellent choice for embedded applications such as interactive clients, gaming, digital signage and many more.
