One of the choices I had to make with this review was what CPU to test the integrated video and standard tests with. Our standard video card test platform for video card testing uses the Intel QX9770 CPU which costs well over $1000 to purchase online today. Our DDR2 platform for Intel based motherboards consists of the E6750 CPU, which is a dual core CPU that seems to fit well with the price of the integrated graphics of the GeForce 9300 motherboards and the closest CPU I have to a mid-range CPU so this is used in both the integrated test and the standard system tests.
