Stephen 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?”
ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus @ Virtual-Hideout
“ASUS has been one of the leading manufacturers of motherboards for a number of years, and is the preferred board of the VH staff. The motherboard under the scope this time around is the P5N32-E SLI Plus, which uses the 650i chipset – a lesser version of the 680i which means a lower retail price.”
ASUS Blitz Formula @ PC Per
“The Asus Blitz Formula truly is a magnificent motherboard specimen; by offering up a great set of features on a P35 motherboard and designing it for high speed overclocking Asus has set a high bar for all Intel-platform offerings to strive for.”
ECS P35T-A @ OC Club
“The P35T-A is a full size ATX motherboard that features the Intel P-35 Express chipset. Among other things in this view, you will note the purple color of the motherboard PCB. Something to distinguish this ECS product from many of the other motherboards on the market. While most of the P35 motherboards on the market feature some type of heatpipe cooling for the chipsets and power management circuit, this board does not.”
Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 @ TweakTown
“While this was good, the enthusiasts still needed a higher grade chipset. Enter today’s contender, the X38. The new X38 chipset is designed to take over where the aging 975X chipset leaves off. Its abilities have been tweaked as well as some extra goodies. So let’s have a look at our first retail sample board, Gigabyte X38-DQ6.”
Biostar TP35D2-A7 & TP35D3-A7 Deluxe @ X-Bit labs
“We would like to discuss two new Biostar solutions on Intel P35 Express chipset: one for DDR2 and another for DDR3 SDRAM. The remarkable thing about these products is that Biostar has put a lot of effort in creating an affordable mainboard for overclockers with excellent PCB design and rich features. Let’s find out how good these solutions turned out.”
ASUS Blitz Extreme P35 @ Neoseeker
“The Asus Blitz Extreme is quite worth its $290 to $300 dollar U.S. selling price. It could make a pretty good single GPU gaming rig and a more than decent office/productivity machine. More PCI-e lanes would have been nice, but Asus did do something quite unique with Crosslink…”
MSI P35 Diamond @ HardwareZone
“MSI takes their latest DDR3 P35 board to new heights with the P35 Diamond, complete with the bundled VoIP hardware and Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card. An excellent motherboard with great performance that should not be overlooked, but is it worth it? Find out inside.”
ASUS Blitz Formula Special Edition @ HardwareZone
“ASUS plays the role of manufacturer and enthusiast modder with their new Blitz Formula Special Edition motherboard, featuring a hybrid water-cooled Northbridge and proper CrossFire support on an Intel P35 chipset. Throw in great overclocking and performance and you’ve got this year’s best P35 motherboard.”
