The Asus P5QPL-AM motherboard is an entry-level motherboard for socket LGA 775. It is based on the Intel G41 chipset which supports all Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors.

It has a micro ATX form factor so it’s perfect for small media PC systems. It’s actually a bit tiny for a micro-ATX form factor.

Specs: Asus P5QPL-AM
Intel G41 chipset with ICH7
Socket LGA 775 for Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad CPUs
FSB 800/1066/1333 MHz
2 x DDR2 dual-channel slots of up 8GB memory
PCI Express 1.1 x16, PCI Express x1, 2 x PCI slots
4 SATA 3Gb/s
1 x IDE
6-channel Realtek Audio
Gigabit LAN (Atheros)
Intel GMA X4500 Integrated Graphics

Don’t expect a lot from this motherboard since the Socket LGA775 has been around for almost half a decade now. These types of motherboards usually have built-in graphics in them (in this case, a GMA X4500).

Expect this low-cost motherboard to sell for around Php3,000 in stores (possibly lower). At that price range, this mobo is as practical as you can get with the specs worth the price tag.
