Albatron PX915G Pro

Albatron's PX915G Pro is the first board we've seen with the -G version of the Intel 915 chipset. This incorporates the updated version of Intel?s graphics core, known as the GMA 900 (Graphics Media Accelerator).

It's the equivalent of an entry-level graphics card such as an nVidia GeForce FX5200. If you want more than basic graphics performance , the board also has a 16X PCX graphics slot.

For the PX915G Pro Albatron has chosen the DDR1 memory option, and the four DIMM slots can take up to 4GB of either DDR333 or DDR400 memory in dual-channel mode.

For those without SATA hard drives, the two Ultra ATA/133 RAID ports can be configured to work as standard Ultra ATA/133 ports, leaving the single standard Ultra ATA/100 port free for optical drives. There are four SATA ports but as the board uses the basic version of the ICH6 Southbridge there's no SATA RAID support.

Aside from all the usual data cables in the box, there's a useful A3 colour installation poster. It's definitely an entry-level board, but it has some useful upgrade potential.
