Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi reviewed @ ITreviewed

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

 

 

We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.

Thanks greatly!

 

"Aside from being a high-performance Mini-ITX platform, Zotac's GeForce

9300-ITX WiFi is also a neat platform for home theatre PCs. Pairing the

motherboard with a low-power 45nm Intel processor would make a low-power and

cool-running media centre with wireless network connectivity. You're going

to have to get over the hurdle of picking a compatible enclosure and power

supply, and you should remember that the GeForce 9300 chipset isn't as

powerful as the 9400 used in nVidia's Ion system. You should also bear in

mind that there's only support for two internal drives, and memory support

doesn't include the latest cutting-edge DDR3. And if you intend to use a

proper graphics card you'll need a larger case, so you might as well plump

for a Micro-ATX motherboard. Finally, I should point out that the LGA775

socket doesn't have much of an upgrade path looking forward. But then there

isn't one for soldered-on Atom CPUs, either. At least with LGA775 there is a

wide range of models to suit just about every need and budget. Sure you can

get an Atom-based Mini-ITX board for half the price, but Zotac's offering is

in its own class if you want to build either a diminutive home theatre PC

that can play back Blu-ray movies smoothly over HDMI or, with the addition

of a discrete graphics card, a potent gaming rig that's easy to carry to LAN

parties. In fact, it is the best Mini-ITX board I've ever tested."
