Excellent MOBO for HTPC
By MarkUS
I've been building computers since NT4, and I'm amazed how technology has come, so far. I'm specifically impressed with the Intel DG45ID MOBO. Built specifically for Media Center use. This MOBO works really well with my Vista x64 Ultimate. I watch Blu-ray, HD DVD's, and online movies. I set this up with a quad core processor, 8GB RAM (Corsair), on an Antec case. The built-in HDMI (video card) passes audio and video. I've tested other MOBO (not an Intel), & their built-in HDMI (video card), does not pass audio. This video card can only achieve 1080p, at 60hz. So if you have a 120 Hz TV, it will bump down to 60 Hz.Good luck with watching Netflix movie, using this video card. There's some DRM, management rights issue.There are no legacy peripherals/hookups on this MOBO; all SATA, USB, Firewire connections. I don't know how the integrated RAID controller performs, since I'm currently not using it. The only suggestion is to have integrated wifi included on this board. I'll purchase this MOBO again, if someone wants me to build them a Media Center.*** April 2009 Update ***I purchased and hooked-up the Sony STRDG820 Receiver. The Sony works really well with my HTPC. I'm still using the integrated HDMI in the MOBO.Last week I updated the BIOS. I found out that I'm way behind and I could not update using Express BIOS update. I had to update using Recovery or Iflash. I don't have a USB floppy, so I updated using my USB stick. The app that I used is the HP USB Disk Storage. You can download that app for free. You should be able to create a DOS startup disk, with the downloaded BIOS, .BIO extension file from Intel.BTW: I'm using the Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400 800 MHz 240-PIN DDR2 Dual-Channel Memory Kit - TWIN2X4096-6400C5. I have 8GB RAM, and BIOS setup for auto; my current memory speed is 800MHz.Also, I'm not experiencing that weird DRM Netflix issue anymore.

I bought this to upgrade my 6-year-old PC after reading some good reviews on the integrated graphics technology the G45 offers. It seems that gamers and overclockers are not too fond of this board, but I don't really do either of those things, so it seemed like a good solution for me. This board will support Quad Core processors, but I went with a Core2Duo E8400 3.0 GHz chip. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance, however I had a very hard time getting the system up and running. I've been assembling systems for 21 years and have never had so much trouble. Had I been paying closer attention when I ordered it, I would have realized this board has NO SUPPORT FOR IDE Drives, NO SUPPORT FOR Floppy Drives and NO BUILT-IN VGA. The built-in graphics uses DVI or HDMI only. Fortunately, my monitor supported DVI, so I just had to buy the cable. There is only one PCI slot, and one PCIe slot, but if you use PCIe, the onboard graphics are disabled, so you can't have both.I thought I would use my existing optical (CD/DVD) drives, and located some SATA-to-IDE adapters online (which I had to order and wait for). There seems to be a problem using CDs booted on optical drives with SATA-IDE adapters to format the new SATA HDD I bought for this system, as I could never make the drive bootable and Windows install would typically fail in the middle. After buying a SATA DVD Drive and running the setup from there, everything worked fine on the first try. I would recommend this board as long as you buy all SATA Drives and forget about floppies altogether. The SATA-IDE adapters seem to work on the older HDs from my old system. I can read and write to the old IDE drives although they would not boot. I was able to copy all my data from the two old HDs to the new SATA drive and put the old ones out to pasture.Even thought I bought it over a month ago, I've only been using it about 10 days, so it's hard to gauge reliability at this point. The benchmark tests are pretty impressive for the completed system and Intel has all drivers and documentation readily available on their website. It seems to run cool, too. I'm only using the stock Intel CPU fan that came with the chip and the fan built in the the Power Supply, although there are hookups for two more internal fans, they don't seem to be necessary. temperature seems to be stable.As usual, Amazon shipped the board fast and well-packed. It was brand new and factory-sealed.To sum up, the board has all the new features, but none of the old so it's probably best to plan on a total system rebuild with this one.

By B. Campbell
I bought this motherboard, a Pentium E6500 processor, 4GB of Corsair DDR2 800Mhz memory and a Lite-On Blu-Ray drive with the intention of saving some bucks and using the built sound and video for a Windows 7 HTPC. Once I had all the current drivers loaded, it worked as advertised: DVDs and Blu-ray disks played back without a hitch; DTS and Dolby Digital content went out over the HDMI 1.3 connection with no problems, and the built-in graphics were adequate for standard computing tasks.And that's the problem with this motherboard: it's integrated graphics are up to the task of displaying 1080p video, but only adequate for most computer applications, and almost useless for even light gaming. In addition, the onboard sound does not support bitstreaming, which is required to support the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA audio tracks used on Blu-ray discs. Both of these problems were easily resolved by adding an ATI Raedon HD5570 card to my system, which increased my Windows 7 graphics score from 4.3 to 6.8 and added support for the missing audio formats. Unfortunately, it increased the cost of my "budget HTPC" build by $85 as well.With this in mind, if you're looking to build a HTPC on a budget, and can live with two less memory expansion slots, I'd recommend using the E6500 processor and the HD5570 with an Intel G41-based motherboard such as the Foxconn G41MXE or the Biostar G41M7. Either combination will save you about $50 and give you similar results to what I have, which has proven more than adequate. Invest the money you saved in a really cool HTPC case like the the Silverstone GD04, or just pocket the spare change... either way you come out ahead.
