Most consumers looking to buy an Intel 915P motherboard will have to deal with the choice of using either DDR or DDR2. However, the Asus P5GDC-V we are reviewing today makes the decision a bit easier for you by supporting both DDR and DDR2. The P5GDC-V also puts itself apart from the rest by using the 915G chipset which includes the Intel¡¯s Media Graphics Accelerator 900 video integrated on the product.
While these features may not appeal to the enthusiast or to the gamer, the P5GDC-V will make a splash with businesses and customers looking to stretch their upgrade options and dollars.
