ASUS P5E3 Deluxe WiFi @ Neoseeker

“Add to the mix the extensive PCIe 2.0 support, great SATAII transfer rates, and more I/O than you can shake a stick at – and it becomes an obvious choice for gamers and overclockers looking for a good high-end X38 DDR3 board. Really, the only ‘flies in the ointment’ for the P5E3 Deluxe WiFi are the poor IDE performance, and the expense of high-end DDR3 memory modules; neither of which will stop devoted enthusiasts with money from plunking down cold hard cash for the great performance offered by this board.”

ASUS P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP @ ViperLair

“If you was to ask any PC hardware enthusiast who some of their favourite manufacturers are, I’d lay down money that one name that would keep popping up would be Asus. They do try to cater to everyone and for everything with their motherboards and other products. The motherboard I’m looking at here, the manual for it has 6 pages at the front describing the special features, both expected and extra.”

Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2H @ Bjorn3D

“Among enthusiasts this has become a four letter word never to be uttered in their presence. It has come to mean lacking, underpowered and weak. But there is another side to integrated. Efficient, flexible, and simple. If you are looking to put together a home theatre PC (HTPC) then finding the right motherboard with integrated components is crucial.”

ECS G31T-M @ TweakTown

“Our first G31 candidate is the ECS G31T-M motherboard. ECS has always produced the best low-end boards you will ever see, as they tend to add in features whilst keeping their prices down. Their boards usually have some overclocking potential as well, so let’s see just how well the G31T-M behaves today.”

ASRock 4Core 1333-eSATA2 @ Madshrimps

“ASRock introduces another new board 4Core 1333-eSATA2 using the newly released Intel P31 chipset in succession only days after the release of 4Core 1333-Viiv P965 main board. Can this board outperform and beat the P965 in performance and price?”

Foxconn X38A @ Hardware Zone

“By now, you’ve probably seen all the major upcoming boards in the market from this year’s CeBIT and Computex coverages, but we happen to actually have a Foxconn X38 motherboard on hand to give you a closer preview of what to expect. For a high-end motherboard, the Foxconn X38A looks deceivingly subtle, with no fancy cooling or elaborate technology claims to be seen.”

Intel E6750 Core 2 Duo @ TweakNews

“The people that will be taking advantage of this new processor will be the new system builders trying to get their best bang for the buck at the moment. Seeing this processor can be purchased for under US$200, it is a lot cheaper than the US$320 E6700 it is replacing.”

abit IP35 Pro Off Limits @ Virtual-Hideout

“For years, Universal abit has been manufacturing top of the line motherboards, and the trend still continues with the IP35 Pro. This motherboard is loaded features that any enthusiast or mainstream user would enjoy. The Intel P35 chipset is at the heart, and boasts great performance.”

Intel E6850 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo @ Virtual-Hideout

“Well, for years after that I was a true diehard AMD fan. That is, until the tides recently turned and the tsunami of C2D arrived on the shores. Recently, Intel has been dominating the processor scene with its new line of Core 2 Duo’s. Well, once again Intel has stepped up to the plate by literally stepping up the FSB from 1066 to 1333. This new line of CPU’s have a model of Exx50 which represents the 1333FSB.”

Foxconn G33M-S @ Hexus

“We’re taking a close look at Foxconn’s microATX G33M-S mainboard. This G33-based board sports Intel’s latest integrated graphics processor, the GMA 3100, but can that get the better of the current IGP champion, AMD’s 690G?”
