ASUS' 4-series Motherboards

ASUS had a number of 4-series based motherboards at its booth:


Most of ASUS' P45 based motherboards thankfully used DDR2, expect this to be commonplace with P45 boards.


G45 makes Intel competitive with AMD and NVIDIA's latest integrated graphics solutions.


HDMI is going to become very popular on integrated graphics motherboards


More HDMI

ASUS also had Socket-AM2 motherboards based on the AMD 780G and AMD 770 chipsets:


The ASUS AMD 780G based M3A78-EMH HDMI, with HDMI of course


The ASUS M3A based on the AMD 770 chipset


ASUS' M3N-H, the data card lists the chipset as the GeForce 8300

    Pandas everywhere are cursing this latest 'innovation' from Asus... what a waste of effort. Never understood why anyone would want to enclose a computer in such a poor conductor of heat.

    I am interested in the NIA. But my main question is what else can you do with it. To reduce CTS it would be great if you could just type with it. I have never been happy with voice recognition so far and it doesnt work well in an office with other people. But if these products could be made with enough input recognition to at least get the letters numbers and punctuation of the keyboard I would buy it in a hearbeat. Imagine taking notes in class without bothering people with the keys and writing documents and emails quickly and silently.

    I just picked an OCZ NIA up.. I know this is an old thread.. I haven't spent hours training it yet but I am anticipating some interesting hacks out soon and maybe some firmware hacks since this is a pretty cheap item now. Anyway, I will review further on my own site as I play with it, you can catch that at http://automatedhome.ca">http://automatedhome.ca and soon at augmenting-reality.com where I intend to try out all these devices to put together a good William Gibson style portable computer complete with Vusix 920AV glasses and some Nvidia or android or Iphone device at the center.. anyway, more to come son on what I can get this toy to do..;)

    Could you please find out if the Asus Xonar HDAV card will output TrueHD and DTS MA bitstream, or only LPCM?
