AOpen i945Pa-PLF with "powermaster"

[erikm5150]

What do you people think of this new mobo from Aopen.

http://www.tomshardware.com/motherboard ... 5p-04.html

it claims to go beyond the normal intel speedstep and also reduce FSB along with the multiplier. no word on voltage reduction, though.
at idle, it can reduce the speed of the cpu to under 2Ghz.
if some third-party software like crystalcpuid can support this specific board, it should have some good potential

is this a decent thermal/power saving solution for those looking to go for the intel platform?

SPCR did a review of an earlier version of the board based on a i915 chipset
