While most people who read computer motherboard reviews focus their attention on high end enthusiast motherboards meant to push every component to the very edge, the truth is theres a large segment of our society who don't need $300 motherboards, $600 video cards, or $2500 systems. For these people, a simple computer for browsing the internet, sending email, reading news, and maybe watching a DVD is more than enough.
Intel's G33 Express chipset will never be confused with its more desirable siblings, the mainstream P35 or the soon to be released enthusiast X38 chipsets when it comes to all out performance, it does feature, among other things, Intel's GMA3100 integrated graphics (which includes Intel's "Clear Video Technology"), HDMI support, as well as HD Audio, making it a very attractive option for those on a tight budget or those looking for an inexpensive HTPC system.
