Gigabyte EG45M-DS2H

Rob Williams · 12-04-2008, 02:36 AM

On the test bench today, we have Gigabyte's latest Micro ATX offering, the Intel G45-based EG45M-DS2H. This board carries the typical Gigabyte enthusiast charm, but also caters towards those looking to build a media center. But how does it stack up against the other Intel mATX boards we've tested recently?

This is a nice review, with one little flaw:
the GMA X4500HD HD-acceleration won't work under Windows XP.
...just in case somebody (like me) wanted to use this OS...:-(

Movie acceleration should work just fine... did you download the latest XP driver for the X4500HD located here? http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...=2996&lang=eng
