What does Express mean on mobo's

[railfrog]

Have seen a few mobo's that have "Intel P45 Express" chipsets.
What does the "Express" mean?

It probably means integrated video. Check that.

I can only find this that has express on it...

HERE is the link to the mobo

That is an Asus tag - not Intel.

Sorry Bill....on other sites for this mobo it says under the chipset type "intel P45 express / ICH10R"

Look HERE for the other site

Express just means that the chipset has PCI-Express technology.
