  • At tech4pcs you will find benchmarks like SuperPi, Sisoft arithmatic and Everast Memory. If you want to navigate and remain the English translation you'll have to use the previous and next buttons and not the drop down menu, because in that case you will end up with the Spanish pages of this site.

  • At global.hkepc.com four motherboards ASRock G43Twins-FullHD, GIGABYTE GA-EG45M-DS2H, GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H and the Intel DG35EC are tested, and they found an 55% performance increase for the GMA X4500 when compared to the older GMA X3500.

  • On compress.ru six intel G43/G45 mobos are comparred with an older BioStar GeForce 9500GT, the results for the internal graphics processers G43/G45 are not enough to work with gaming applications, even at minimum settings with a minimum resolution.
