Bit-tech takes a look at some micro-ATX boards, to see which would be best for movie playback

From Bit-tech: 

Home Theatre PCs have been around for a while, and with ever improving integrated graphics we decided to find out which chipset is currently the best solution for video playback. The three micro-ATX boards we will be looking at today all feature HDMI with HDCP encryption for the latest HDTVs, but sit at different price points and use both AMD and Intel processors.

The P35 chipset has been around for quite a while and definitely gives an extra boost to your Intel CPU. A high front side bus combined with very decent memory tweaking pushes your system to the edge. Today, we have a look at the MSI Platinum Combo, the DFI P35 Lanparty, Foxconn's P35AP-S and the Asus P5K Vanilla.

"Developers, developers, developers!" rings the famous Steve Ballmer chant. Google is a long way from capturing the same developer community found at Microsoft, or even Apple, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

ASUS Maximus Extreme

Maximus is the most recent addition to the Republic of Gamers family of motherboards and they're so new that, at the time of writing, the Asus UK website doesn't carry any details, so you'll need to check out the Republic of Gamers website for details.

There are three models of this X38 chipset motherboard. The basic Maximus Formula has all of the usual X38 features including dual PCIe 2.0 graphics slots, support for the latest Penryn Core 2 CPUs and an extensive cooling system that links the chipset and power regulation hardware. This model supports DDR2 memory.
