?AOpen is devoted to delivering consumers newer, more efficient and more energy-saving information appliance including AOpen miniPC Duo, which is world famous for its compact size and energy-saving, and the new generation MoDT motherboards, developed with innovative thinking. Also, in order to fulfill AOpen?s commitment to consumers, while Intel is introducing their more computing-efficient and energy-saving Core 2 Duo (Merom) CPUs, the series of AOpen?s miniPC Duo and MoDT motherboards will provide supports synchronously. Thus those high quality products, which have been very efficient and energy-saving, will have an enhanced value as a whole!? said Mr. Tony Yang, the Marketing Senior Director.
The AOpen i975Xa-YDG is the top flagship of MoDT series motherboards, as it integrates the powerful scalability of i975X chipset for desktop computers and the powerful computing and energy-saving of notebook CPU to create unprecedented total value.
It includes the feature of overclock in 1MHz without re-starting the computer, integrated system turn on/off and Multi-function remote control for AV control and overclock control. It also provides 2 PCI-Express x16 expansion slots, and supports ATI CrossFire dual graphic card technology and SATA II Hot-Swap feature that can be plug-and-play. But the ultimate feature is the 7.1 channel Hi-Fi Dolby surround output.
On the other hand, the AOpen miniPC Duo MP945-VX / MP945-VXR can be integrated with complete Microsoft Windows XP MCE 2005 operating system. Also, the built-in IEEE 802.11 b+g wireless network, 5.1 channel Dolby surround, the feature of S/PDIF digital output, the slim slot-in DVD?RW drive and 2.5?

Therefore, it is designed based on Micro ATX standard specification and is one of the most popular and mainstream products among MoDT series motherboards. The i945GTt-VFA also uses i945GT+ICH7M-DH chipset but is designed based on the specific Flex ATX (mini ITX) to reduce the motherboard size.
