It’s safe to say that the board is a mixed bag. With so many integrated components, and the performance of those components being as good as they are, it certainly makes this board an excellent value. The real downsides is when you compare it to a desktop which has seporate graphics, even the same X300 core, gaming performance is increased significantly. If you are looking for a budget gaming system though, you could always puchase a full graphics card and install it in the available PCIe 16x slot. Flexiblity at it’s finest, only a few things are lacking in this system such as dual channel really can only make such a small notice in performance.
I would like to thank PC Partner for sending us one of their motherboards to review. It certainly has some of the best integrated hardware I’ve seen in a motherboard. The quality of the board and components provided are top notch. Only a few things are lacking in the system, but in all reality they actually make the board more useful and price effective for HTPC and compact systems. Anyone looking for a board with all of the latest technologies integrated into one compact package should definitely try to get their hands on this PC Partner manufactured board.
