Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H @ HardwareZone
“AMD’s Phenom II has quickly established itself as a platform for more budget conscious consumers. What better than to pair it with an AM2+ 790GX motherboard that uses more affordable DDR2 memory? We give you the lowdown on the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H.”
ASUS Maximus II Gene @ Bjorn3D
“With all of this in mind, it is good to see manufacturers like ASUS still working hard on improving the Intel socket 775 CPU’s. Like its bigger brother the ASUS Rampage II GENE motherboard, the Asus Maximus II GENE motherboard is a micro ATX form factor, but with a couple of difference’s, the Maximus II GENE motherboard supports the Intel socket 775 CPU’s, dual channel DDR2 memory, and it uses the P45 Eaglelake chipset, paired up with a ICH10R south bridge, with a few extra’s added we seen with the Rampage II GENE motherboard.”
Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P @ TweakTown
“AM3 has never looked so good. With support for both DDR2 and DDR3 on the same CPU, the possibilities with this platform are endless. We have already seen quite a few good boards come out, either supporting one or the other technology and some with both. But one thing remains constant; a good price and a pretty good performing board and CPU combo for the outlay.”
ASUS P6T7 WS @ Motherboards.org
“The P6T7 is designed for the workstation crowd and stability, manageability, support for SAS drives are as important as performance. The board was completely stable throughout testing and the ability to run four dual-GPU cards together will bring the ultimate in performance in games anyway. ASUS has an Editor’s Choice product here for sure; especially in light of all of the extra features this board offers for the workstation crowd, great stability and great performance making this board a great choice for your new computer. Rock On ASUS!”
EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified @ Hot Hardware
“EVGA commonly produces their mainstream motherboard products first, while in tandem, begins work on their high-end enthusiast product. It’s taken roughly four months since the time EVGA launched their first Intel X58 motherboard (the more than worthy X58 3X SLI) to follow it up with their enthusiast-class product, which we’ll be looking at today.”
MSI X58 Pro-E @ HardwareZone
“With one of the best prices that we have ever seen for a Core i7 motherboard, MSI’s X58 Pro-E seems to have it all. Features, price and the quality from a reputable top tier motherboard vendor. Does it really have the performance to match? Find out in our rundown.”
Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2C @ Hardware Secrets
“Gigabyte G31M-ES2C is a value motherboard for Intel socket 775 processors based on Intel G31 chipset, which is today the simplest chipset from Intel, supporting 45 nm CPUs, 1,333 MHz front side bus and 800 MHz memory modules in dual channel configuration. This motherboard, however, supports front side bus up to 1,600 MHz thru overclocking.”
ZOTAC IONITX-A-U @ Benchmark Reviews
“We all want more for less. That’s why enthusiasts overclock, and that’s why we build HTPCs. The PlayStation 3 game console has sold millions of units because of its ability to delivery realistic video game performance, but Sony has sold more units because of the PS3’s Blu-ray Disc player capability than any other factor. Bringing personal computer technology into the home theater environment has just come one step closer, thanks to the NVIDIA ION platform.”
ECS X58B-A @ OC Club
“The ECS X58B-A delivers a little of the good, the bad and not so much on the ugly. The board is a full featured board that at stock speeds delivers performance on par with some hardware that costs as much as $180 more than the X58B-A. The onboard debug LED is useful for diagnosing no boot conditions and just in case you go too far the CMOS reset button is within easy reach on the I/O panel.”
