DH Preview: Asus P5RD1-V Deluxe (Radeon Xpress for Intel)

Boards from that family are nearing completion at Asus and today we have a preview of the first to be released, the P5RD1-V Deluxe.

Once again, Nice job Stu! This looks like it should be a real winner even if it is an Intel based operation

Other than that it looks like a sweet setup with integrated TV tuner and graphic.

Great read!

(Can't wait for the dual PCIe 16X versions to come)

Pretty good idea having a built-in tv tuner, surprised no-one has tried that already. Only problem for me is that I'd want a digital receiver, and I'm guessing that it's a standard analogue tuner used. Certainly looks like a great motherboard though
