Introduction 

Product Description 

The MB870 Pentium 4 Mini ITX board incorporates the ATI RS300M 

chipset and supports 478-pin Intel Pentium 4 processors of 2GHz and up 

to 3.2GHz+ with FSB 800MHz/533MHz/400MHz. MB870 supports the 

Pentium 4 processor with 256-KB L2 cache, Pentium 4 processor with 

512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process. 

The I/O functions are on MB870 integrated onto the IXP150. It supports 

the integrated graphics processor (IGP) on the IGP9180. The IGP has 

3D, 2D, and video capabilities. The system memory size can be up to 

1GB, using the single DDR socket on board. Four USB ports are 

supported with the USB 1.1/2.0 standard. 

MB870 supports TV out and LVDS with the use of the ATI RS300M 

integrated graphics device that accepts two digital graphics input data 

streams. One data stream outputs through an LVDS transmitter to an 

LCD panel, while the other data stream is encoded for NTSC or PAL TV 

and outputs through a 10-bit high speed DAC. The TV encoder device 

encodes a graphics signal up to 1024x768 resolution and outputs the 

video signals according to NTSC or PAL standards. The LVDS function 

supports 18 bit single and dual channel LCD panels. 

*The board does not support 24-bit single and dual channel LCD 

panels.
