Intel DG45ID Pro Reviews

Those looking to build a home theatre box or just seeking an inexpensive but fully-featured office computer should definitely consider the Intel DG45ID. It's a small motherboard that manages to live up to Intel's big reputation.

Intel’s DG45ID has little to offer computer hardware enthusiasts. As you can read above, there are some hoops to be jumped through in order to get an OS on the board, and our ICH10R RAID support was unusable. Another concern on this that comes to mind as I write this is that I don’t think you will be able to use an additional non-Intel video card and the integrated GPU on the G45 simultaneously under Windows Vista due to it not being able to utilize more than one graphics driver at a time.

Intel's DG45ID is ideal for a media centre or mini PC, or if you don't need a dedicated graphics card for gaming. At £90 including VAT it isn't cheap though.

The price is right and Intel’s support has been terrific for current products so we fully expect these boards to improve over time, hopefully the drivers improve at the same rate as the hardware. In the end, while we are not as enamored with the DG45ID compared to the other three uATX boards, it is still a good buy when taken into context for a base HTPC or SOHO system.

We were thoroughly impressed by the DG45ID motherboard and G45 chipset that it's based on. Indeed, we are quite sure it would make a superb Media Centre. It would also do equally well in pretty much any PC that wasn’t intended for serious gaming which is, what, about 95 percent of the PC market.

While ASUS managed to squeeze more functionality onto its board using approximately the same amount of PCB space, Intel somehow squandered that despite ditching most of the legacy connectors like IDE and floppy. Yes, this is a modern motherboard where there are only SATA, USB and FireWire, so those who have existing IDE optical and storage drives should be wary of this. Compared to the ASUS however, it does seem like getting less features for the same mATX dimensions. In fact, ASUS has a slightly smaller PCB than the Intel board.

A good feature set can't save this motherboard from its anemic integrated graphics and poor overall performance.
