*/Zotac's board isn't the fastest or most capable out there, but for
just being stable and for HTPC playback it's the best Intel solution
currently available. The Nvidia GeForce 9300 gives it an underlying
boost to be something great with dual digital displays, perfect HD HQV
numbers (that we've not seen before) and Blu-ray playback that the Intel
G45 can't match.

We do feel it underperforms in general productivity and in the hands of
more capable Tier-1 manufacturers like Asus, MSI or Gigabyte we'd expect
much greater potential to challenge the Intel G45 in core performance
figures, BIOS options and overclocking. However for doing what it says
on the tin the Zotac GeForce 9300 does work well and we haven't had a
problem with it (certainly more than can be said for others), so while
it's not perfect, it should make for a very compelling HTPC purchase./
