Asus hypes G35 chipset graphics
Integrated DirectX10
Monday, 14 April 2008, 11:40
A NEW BATCH of Intel G35 chipset motherboards from Asus will run Microsoft Vista DirectX 10 graphics straight out of the box.
Asus claims this series of motherboards is the world's first to provide an Intel platform with on board integrated support for Windows Vista DirectX 10, although Chipzilla might conceivably take issue with the claim and point to its own G35 mobos.
The line-up includes the P5E-V HDMI the P5E-VM HDMI and the P5E-VM SE. Funnily enough the first two support HDMI. Go figure.

You've got to be kidding me, this is front page news on theinq? These motherboards were reviewed by el reg and others in December 2007... You guys are six months behind the times!
Having bought a P5E VM HDMI I can tell you it's riddled with problems. The G35 is at best, complete crap... you'll be lucky if it runs any of todays games to any level of satisfaction, Intel G35 drivers are flakey.
It does however run the Windows Vista Aero interface (albeit a bit juddery).
The P5E VM HDMI has a small fault with the built in ASUS AI slot detect, which indicates PCI cards are faulty when they're clearly not. A bit of masking tape required to cover the unbelievably bright LED will suffice.
It does however have HDMI out on it, which appears to work quite well for watching HD video material.



pigs can fly.
Haven't these been out since last year? Has there been a new hardware revision or is it that the drivers have just been DX10 certified?
Gues what you get to buy when you by Asus: An onboard volume control that neither drivers, OS software, bios control can amplify, you'll be lucky to hear much audio coming out of any board that carries Realtek chipsets...which I think is all Asus boards.
Once was an elite motherboard maker. Now just a hyped manufacturer of slapdash components nobody cares to correct. Too bad, so sad.
