Performance
Now with the VIA EPIA M-9000 being the basis of the system it's not going to be great as a gaming rig, so I wasn't expecting huge power out of this system. Here at Hexus we have recently reviewed the EPIA M-9000 in a full and complete review so for a more specific review of the board look at it here. The specifications of the board mean that its aimed at being a complete solution containing on-board graphics and on-board sound along with lots of other goodies.
