| 812719 | 2009-09-22 09:27:00 | Yep, I was going to buy the P5Q-EM or P5QL-EM, because both are MATX so is the case here. And both have onboard HDMI/DVI/VGA and firewire. Only diff between the 2, the P5Q-EM is G45 (and dearer $280) and the other G43, (and cheaper ($235-36), and has E-sata | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 812720 | 2009-09-22 09:53:00 | Id go for the eSATA | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 812721 | 2009-09-22 10:19:00 | I just bought a P5kpl-cm last week and now they are $30 cheaper at Ascent damn and I like them they are good for what I do | gary67 (56) | ||

Good board but don't expect to ramp up the fsb as it is a lousy overclocker for faster cpu's e.g.E8400. Mind you, it will overclock a E5300 to 3.5GHz on std cooler if you add a vid card! |

| 812724 | 2009-09-22 11:32:00 | I may put the quad in this . I'll probably swap the CPU in this (E5200 dual core) . And put the quad in this (P5Q SE/R) . And put the dual core on the P5QL-EM . I'm not too worried about games or fp's / whatever . Since I dont have any games anyway . If I want to play games, I'll use the Xbox instead . The P5QL-EM would probably be similar to the P5Q SE/R now . I've got a PCI-E vidcard in this which has DVI/VGA and HDMI . But its using a PCI firewire card . It doesnt have 1394 onboard . Dont know if the P45 chipset is better than the G43 chipset (the P5QL-EM) . It probably is |
