Computer-on-module extend dual-channel memory support

Kontron introduces the COM Express compliant Kontron ETXexpress-CD computer-on-modules with dual-channel memory support. The device offers support for up to 4Gbyte dual-channel memory via two 533MHz or 667MHz DDR2 SO-DIMM sockets. Thus, these modules, says Kontron are ideal for the latest generation of performance-hungry applications that require high levels of data processing. Extreme data processing capacities are needed especially by applications running (a)synchronous multiprocessing and/or virtualization technologies.

The module is equipped with the Intel Core Duo processor T2500, the Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset and the ICH7M Southbridge.

Extensive I/O flexibility is provided by 5x PCI Express x1 lanes, 3x SerialATA ports and 8x USB 2.0 ports along with GbE. An Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) for optimized power management comes as a standard feature. In addition, the module supports Windows XP, 2000, XPe, CE and Linux operating systems.
