Biostar TPower I45 Intel P45 Express Motherboard Review
Biostar TPower I45 Intel P45 Express Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
I don't know what magic Biostar engineers infused into the TPower I45 motherboard to make it an overclocking monster, but reaching +600MHz FSB with this board is a real possibility!

3DMark Vantage doesn't show too much of a difference between each platform... not that 3DMark06 did either. This is a videocard benchmark, but everyone likes 3DMark numbers so here ya go! Just wait till PCSTATS benchmarks a few G45 boards with the onboard GPU, then we'll see interesting numbers here.

Lower times are better in SuperPi. A time of 235 seconds for the Biostar TPower I45 isn't too bad in the 8 million digit test. When taxed with 16 million digits the system comes in middle of the road with a time fo 521 seconds.
