Looking for a new mainboard to accomodate your Intel Dual Core Processor? Today we will be taking a look at the Asus P5LD2-E WiFi-TV, a board based on the Intel 945P Express Chipset. It features various functions like Digital TV, Wireless connectivity and storage options, and it doesn’t blow your wallet like boards based on the 955X chipsets. Click on the review and read on!

The Asus P5LD2-E is Asus’s 945P rendition of the Asus P5WD2-E (the 955X performance variant that is more expensive and is able to handle DDR-II PC1066 memory). Apart from this fact, the P5LD2-E is pretty similar to the P5WD2-E in terms of features, like the optional Wifi-TV card, SATA on the Go Connectivity, ICH7R and third party IDE RAID. The P5LD2-E only has a single Gigabit LAN port though, as opposed to the two found on the P5WD2-E.
