Harness the Power of a Laptop and a Desktop in a Single Computer

The DS965GM-1, a new addition to Duosonic's DS965 series, raises the functions and efficiency of the mini-ITX embedded motherboard to a new height and makes hardware upgrades more flexible. The motherboard employs a mini-ITX format, while the computer also boosts a Intel® GM965 graphic chipset, an Intel® GMA X3100 Graphics Media Accelerator, a Socket 478 motherboard, as well as Intel® Celeron® M or Intel® Core™2 Duo processors that are specially designed for laptops and offer high efficiency, low noise and low power consumption.

The computer is assembled with a processor widely applied in laptops and a DDR2 memory 800 MHz 240 Pin DIMM - a standard for desktops. This gives the user the option of an embedded motherboard, a notebook processor that is fast and power efficient, and DDR2 800MHz that is widely used in desktop computers. Memory can be expanded up to 2GB, a feature which will help save on the cost of memory updates.

Improved Graphic Media Accelerator Performance
The DS965GM-I will be welcomed by users that require high-definition audio and video performance. With a working frequency of 500MHz, the Intel® GMA X3100 accelerator supports Direct X 9.0c and, thanks to its programmable core, is upgradable to support Direct X 10. Hardware and core frequency are not the only areas that have been improved, the video player has also been optimized. Newly-introduced Intel technology lets the user watch DVDs, HD-DVDs and blue-ray disks. It also gives outstanding picture output for computer gamers. Even with high-resolution pictures, there are no shadow or image trails caused by display delays. Furthermore, the Intel® GMA X3100 has passed Windows Vista Premium authentication and met the highest standards of Windows Vista for performance and special effects. Windows Aero can be used smoothly without any difficulty.

Updated hardware and Enhanced Operation
In line with the growing use of Serial ATA, the motherboard in the DS965GM-I is equipped with two sets of SATA connectors, six sets (upgradable to 8 sets) of USB 2.0 ports as well as a Gigabit network card that provides fast Internet access with up to 1,000 Mbps of broadband speed that assures uninterrupted enjoyment of online videos, movies and music. A set of Mini PCI slots allows the users to install a wireless network card, modem, TV card or other devices. A set of IDE (ATA) and PCI-E interfaces supports DVD/CD-format disks as well as a low-profile display card to satisfy game enthusiasts who seek to maximize 3D game effects.

Intel® Matrix Storage Technology
In terms of interface ports, on the basis of Intel's Matrix Storage Technology, a set of External Serial ATA (eSATA) are furnished to expand memory capacity and speed up transmission to as fast as 300MB/s (or 3.0Gb/s), at least twice that of USB2.0 devices. Moreover, the interface makes the process of playing or copying large-capacity media files like Blu-ray or HD DVD more efficient and less time-consuming. Thanks to its high efficiency and speedy transmission, the IEEE 1394 interface (6pin) is the best choice for designers or movie editors that process large images and video files.

Intel® Intel Active Management Technology
Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT) is a system widely applied in businesses of all sizes. With this system, the administrator can assign work, download or update software, paralyze the system, check and repair the system in case of hard disk malfunction, and even deactivate the system. These capabilities can help businesses to substantially cut costs and reduce the time spent on computer management and maintenance.

Quiet System Technology (QST)
With its intelligent fan-speed control system, the DS965GM-I automatically adjusts fan speed based on the computer’s temperature. The three low-noise fans enable a comfortable atmosphere for browsing news, playing games, watching movies or listening to music.

Spectacular audio effects
An Intel® 82801HBM I/O Controller Hub (ICH8) has been introduced into the Southbridge Chip of the DS965GM-I, replacing the commonly used AC97 with a Realtek ALC 882 8-soundtrack decoding chip, offering the highest definition available. By connecting the chip or SPDIF digital optical audio interface to a loudspeaker system, you can experience a more spectacular, concert-like audio experience.

International ROHS Authentication
From design to production, Duosonic made environmental protection a priority feature of the DS965GM-I. The motherboard conforms to international ROHS standards. Efficient power usage is the key to its design. The motherboard supports an ATX power supply, 110v - 220v AC input and 12v 7.0A DC output, significantly reducing power consumption and cutting operational costs. Through design concepts such as these, Duosonic aims to do its part in protecting the environment.
