Agreed with all of the problems listed with VGA and HDMI outputs on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Have tried all drivers on Intel site (as at 27 Feb 2012) and also beta drivers with no success - screen continually 'jumps' around and glitches. Problem is less noticeable at lower resolutions (i.e. 1280 x 800 or less) but is still present. Generic VGA drivers are rock solid but are limited to basic 4x3 screens and no chance of any hardware assisted decoding (XBMC won't even launch). Windows Aero works but the screen is slow to update and so is practically unusable; Basic theme works fine and XBMC loads but there is still the irritating screen jumps / glitches... Good news is that power consumption is around 10w idle to 15w Prime95 running 4GB DDR3, 30GB OCZ Nocti msata, slim BD-ROM and generic 120w power brick. Also, performance is reasonably snappy from the dual core hyper-threaded CPU. Bottom line: wait until Intel release some Windows VGA drivers that are actually fit for purpose - a shame as otherwise this could have been (and may eventually become?!) an excellent board. |
