This change has been thoroughly evaluated to ensure there are no quality, reliability, functional, or driver implications to our customers. BCM is not recommending customers to perform additional qualification of these changes. The MX45GM is a small form factor, high performance, industrial motherboard designed with an Intel® Socket P and the Mobile Intel® GM45/ICH9M-E Chipsets architecture. The Socket P supports Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme, Core™ 2 Quad and 45nm Core™ 2 Duo processors with Front Side Bus speed from 667, 800 and 1066 MHz. The Intel® GM45 chipset integrates the Intel® GMA 4500MHD Graphics Engine delivering Blu-ray capable HD video playback and high resolution 3D graphics with dual display capable configuration via HDMI, DVI, LVDS and VGA outputs. The MX45GM supports Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 and Intel® Active Management Technology (iAMT) 4.0. The TPM feature provides the functions of hard drive encryption enhancing security protection. The Intel® Active Management Technology makes it easier for IT technicians to maintain, repair or upgrade the computer through network communications from the remote locations at any time even if the computer is turned off.
