Comment: When I tested four microATX boards based on the Intel G45 Express chipset, the $140 (street) ASUS P5Q-EM came out on top, although it got stiff competition from the Gigabyte EG45M-DS2H. Those who can afford the P5Q-EM, though, will get a beast—the F...

Good: Excellent performance. Eminently overclockable. Has extra features missing from other boards based on the Intel G45 Express chipset.

Bad: Two PCI-E X1 slots means theres room for only one legacy (PCI) card.

Bottomline: The ASUS P5Q-EM is a fast performer and a fine choice for anyone building an HDTV-ready home-theater PC....

Comment: Nei giorni scorsi avevamo pubblicato (a questo indirizzo) un articolo relativo alla nuova MSI P7NGM basata sul chipset Nvdia Nforce 730i con VGA integrata GeForce 9300. Torniamo ad occuparci di chipset con grafica onboard parlando del nuovo Intel G45 ...

Comment: To complement the High Definition decoding of the G45 Express, the P5Q-EM offers up HDMI, DVI and VGA video outputs, allowing you to output HD video right to a home theatre display without any additional expense. mfgr link category date publish...

Bottomline: The Asus P5Q-EM motherboard is an impressive piece of work for cost-concious applications that require smooth HD playback. The Intel GMA X4500HD integrated graphics processor is a clear improvement over Intels previous generation IGP, but it is stil...

Comment: The PG35 chipset P5E-VM HDMI was one of the best LGA775 mATX boards of the last generation. With so many features it made an excellent ATX replacement and stood alone in its class for almost a year. Now, poised to replace it is the Asus P5Q-EM. Sportin...

Comment: We wouldnt dream of letting an Intel launch go by without complete and thorough coverage. Can you imagine the Nehalem launch without reviews on launch day? Or even the release of Intels first mainstream SSDs without an article going through the techn...

Bottomline: Where to begin... As a HTPC solution G45 promises to be the chipset weve all been waiting for, but falls short. Honestly the best combination for a HTPC would probably be an Intel P45 based motherboard (G45 would also work) with an AMD Radeon HD 4670...

Comment: Asus sieht sich gerne an der Spitze der Mainboardhersteller. Was in einem Punkt auf das µATX-Board P5Q-EM zutrifft - im Preis. Es basiert, wie unser zuletzt getestetes Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H ebenfalls auf dem Intel G45/ICH10R Chipsatz-Duo und wird ...

Bottomline: Wir waren auf unseren ersten Test eines Asus-Mainboards sehr gespannt, aber aufgrund unserer gemachten Erfahrungen mit Intels G45-Chipsatz zurückhaltend. Es stellte sich im Verlauf des Tests Ernüchterung ob unserer Testergebnisse ein, die sich in der ...

Comment: Stammleser werden sich jetzt wundern, da sie sich eventuell daran erinnern, dass wir dieses Mainboard schon einmal im Test hatten. Ja, die Erinnerung ist korrekt. Aber das Mainboard hat keine wirklich gute Wertung davon getragen. Die Wogen schlugen...

Bottomline: Betrachten wir die Ergebnisse des erneuten Tests in der Zusammenfassung, so gibt es Licht und Schatten. Im Test der Speicherperformance brachte die Erhöhung der Northbridge-Spannung die gewünschte Leistung. Jetzt war der 1066-Modus möglich...
