At stock speeds, the little AOpen EX915 XCube can go toe to toe with the 925X and 915P-based desktop motherboards, which is certainly great! The 915G chipset in the XCube matches the Albatron 915G full desktop board almost exactly in performance. It doesn't look like speed is being sacrificed for size and beauty here.
