The expansion slots include a PCIe x l, PCIe x16 and two PCI slots. This board has the usual connects such as USB, e-SATA and FireWire, but also offers VGA, DVI as well as HDMI outs. The HDMI out comes in really handy if you have a big LCD TV you want to hook up to your computer We tested the performance of this board with an Intel QX9650 30 GHz, 4 GB of DDR2 memory and used the integrated graphics, which in this case is the Intel Media Graphic Accelerator X4500 HD. We compared this motherboard to the MSI P7 GM Digital which was the best performer of our last motherboard graphics.

The EGM45-UD2H is not one of the best performing motherboards. Priced at Rs. 9,900 this motherboard is just too expensive to be an mATX HTPC, and is also too expensive to be a regular system. The ZOTAC and MSI motherboards we compared this board to, make a better buy as they are priced also much lower at around Rs.6,000.
