Asus P5Q-EM - Opinions Wanted (1 Viewer)

[RCW]

I have recently rebuilt my HTPC with an Intel DG45ID but have been disappointed with a number of issues (constant unwanted WOL, audio drop outs, 24p issues) - I should have done a little more research first.

I have RMA'ed the board and while still waiting for a replacement I have decided that I want nothing to do with this Intel board again.
I am going to return the board and think the Asus P5Q-EM might suite my needs (video over HDMI, Optical Audio).
Does anyone have any reports, good or bad, about the Asus P5Q-EM.

i have the same board.. the intel g45 chipset sucks for video.. no overscan support, i ended up getting an ATi card and slapping it in there. also the board put out less than 5v so you wont be able to power usb powered devices like a HD.
