I do not see the perfomance of the DG45ID as a CON , truely it does real good for onboard graphics , and it handles a big card like, a GV-N250OC-1GI Rev. 2.0 very good . I was not knocking the board it's just with the published specs. I kind of expected more. But if you have been building computers for any time than you know it's real hard to get VISTA 64 to give you a 5.9 on any score let alone on graphics , But when I added the GTS 250 OC card than I got 5-5.9. And thats great I've never heard anybody that built a computer get 5- 6s, I just do not think it happens .
