The maximum shortage of I945 series is that the maximum memory capacity supported by I945 is only 4GB, and ECC memory is not supported. In contrast, I945 is also a relatively advantageous aspect of Intel 955X, except for 1066/800 MHz, 533 MHz FSB, so it can be well supported by Celeron D. However, it is high for memory, only support DDR2-677 / 533, and DDR2-400 and DDR400 are not supported. Intel 945g built-in display core adopts Intel GMA950, which is improved compared with the GMA900.
