DFI-ACP Announces New Long-Life microATX Product to
Support Intel® Core™2 Duo and Quad Processors
New Product Features Intel® Q35 Express Chipset and RAID Option
 
13 Oct. 2008, Taipei, Taiwan
 
DFI-ACP today announced the introduction of two new motherboards supporting Intel® Core™2 Duo and Quad processors. The BL330-BR and BL330-B high-performance microATX form factor boards are designed specifically for embedded applications requiring a stable revision-controlled platform, with long-term availability. Utilizing the Intel® Q35 Express chipset, each product offers guaranteed availability through December 2014. In addition, the LGA775 socket on both motherboards is compatible with a wide range of Embedded Intel® Architecture processors, including the Intel® Core™2 Quad processors, Intel® Core™2 Duo processors and Intel® Celeron® 400 series processors with 800, 1066, and 1333 MHz front-side bus speeds.
 
The DFI-ACP model BL330-BR motherboard utilizes an Intel® ICH9R Southbridge providing RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5 disk configuration using Intel® Matrix Storage Technology. Setup controls incorporated into the system BIOS allow pre-OS RAID creation, naming and deletion of disk arrays. Full management and status reporting of the RAID array storage devices is performed using Intel® Matrix Storage Manager utility software. These features make the DFI-ACP BL330-BR ideal for applications such as ATM/POS, gaming, medical imaging, security & surveillance, interactive Kiosks, and additional applications requiring higher data security. The DFI-ACP BL330-B model utilizes the Intel® ICH9 Southbridge, and is available for applications not requiring RAID support.
 
Both the BL330-BR and BL330-B motherboards benefit from a 50% reduction in power required by the new Intel® Q35 Express chipset, compared to the Intel® Q965 Express chipset. At the same time, additional performance increases are realized through incorporation of Intel® Fast Memory Access, and Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Intel® VT-d). Both boards are fully Windows Vista Aero compliant, providing graphics display resolution up to QXGA (2048 x 1536) via the onboard VGA connector. Expansion is provided through 1-PCI Express x 16 slot, 1-PCI Express x4 slot and 2-PCI slots.
 
Optimized for the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor, the BL330-BR and BL330-B motherboards retain full compatibility with Intel® Core™2 Duo processors and Intel® Celeron® 4xx sequence processors. Maximum performance is leveraged with up to 8GB DDR2 dual-channel memory, PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet controller and onboard Intel® GMA 3100 graphics accelerator
