Tweaktown is full of shit. I have this board and the first half of their review isn’t even about this board.
[quote]ZOTAC has included a light manual supply. There is a small manual that describes the board itself as well as the features of it and the included software. The DVD included comes with software for Vista and XP along with NVIDIA control utilities. [/quote]
The manual is actually pretty decent and isn’t even pictured here. It’s about as long as the manuals that come from Asus (from product highlights to overview of the board layout to BIOS options) and it does include another one for the Wifi module.
[quote]When it comes down to the accessories and cables, the setup is identical to all the other boards. There is a single SATA data cable, power splitter and IDE cable.
Since this is part of the WiFi series, the board comes with a USB based Wireless Ethernet card which pokes out the back of the I/O shield and uses a stick antenna. To give the board its HDMI interface, a DVI to HDMI interface converter is included.[/quote]
The board comes with SATA data and power cables. There is no IDE port because, clearly judging even by from the pictures on the next page, the 9300 ITX doesn’t have it. It also doesn’t come with an adapter because it HAS HDMI onboard!
The board they are talking about is either Zotac’s AMD 8200 series ITX board or one of their 630i 7000 series crappy Intel boards but this has nothing to do with their 9300 ITX!
[quote]here are two video ports; a CRT and DVI port that supports both DVI and HDMI output through he supplied converter. There is also displayport….[/quote]
That’s HDMI you idiot.
[quote]Lastly, there are six stereo audio ports included on this board[/quote]
It has three audio analog ports, otherwise you couldn’t plug in the wifi module. ::)
And that is where I stopped reading. He’s trying to pass off at least two difference products as one?? This is a review??? ::) ::) Thank God I own the damn board already otherwise I probably wouldn’t have noticed this crap.
