I'm not 100% sold on the utility since it's a Sandy Bridge motherboard, so it's going to come with integrated graphics, and the GT430 is still a fairly low end GPU (good for HTPC use, but so is SB), but the concept is cool.
If you're someone who wants probably better support than what Intel gives driver wise, but doesn't want to compromise by getting an AMD CPU then it gives you a bit of everything in a small package (does SB support things like 3D and decent decoding?).

I do wonder if anyone else will think it's worthwhile though in these days of GPU being integrated with CPU.

seems like it'd be a pretty pointless.

i mean it wouldnt really be a gaming machine, so it'd really only be worthwhile maybe with one of those cheap pentium sandy bridge chips or like an i3-2100 at best.

but you'd have to really be an intel fan to go for it, as it'd seem like a llano board (if the quad core ones are in the i3-2100 range of cpu power) would probably be a cheaper idea.

though on the other hand a pentium sandybridge is supposed to be $70 or so, so it might still be a little more cost effective (though there is going to be a dual core llano also so who knows)

Good only if you need the CPU horsepower as SB is going to murder llano in CPU power.

Otherwise llano would be just fine for HTPC which is all this board is good for, and llano will probably be cheaper.

Seems kind of an odd chimera, why not use a decent mobile graphics chip? Seems a board like that with a non-igp gpu strapped on is already heading well into the premium HTPC category.

"Lets take out they PCIE 16x that people who buy ITX actually uses and put in a worthless GPU"

What were they thinking?

But I like the SO-DIMMs on the board though.
