Iwill is a name we usually don't associate integrated motherboards. They're usually associated with the high end in both performance, and price. The mP4G is a micro ATX i845G based motherboard that is highly integrated, yet is still flexible should you need to upgrade certain parts of your computer.

It's nice to see that Iwill didn't sacrifice upgradeability with the small form factor. The motherboard has everything you would expect, onboard 5.1 audio, onboard LAN, USB 2.0 and onboard video.

We found it very interesting that Iwill even included an internal USB 2.0 port! The internal USB port makes it possible to connect to USB2.0 based devices without tieing up an IDE port for example.

There are a lot of jumpers all over the board from under the AGP to near the PS/2 ports, and in fact this board has the most jumpers of any board we tested.

Being based on the i845G we already know the performance of the board good, but the mP4G would often perform near the top of all the motherboards. Not a bad feat for a microATX motherboard.

Unfortunately, we're not really sure how much the motherboard will retail for, it'll probably be a little more expensive then the MSI solutions since Iwill is always a bit pricey. Still it's a great value!
