MSI 785GM-E51 @ HardwareZone
“With its updated integrated graphics core, AMD’s 785G chipset has been embraced wholeheartedly by vendors looking to capitalize on its mainstream appeal. MSI for instance has four variants available and today, we’ll be looking at an AM3 version, the MSI 785GM-E51.”
Preview of the Gigabyte EX-58 EXTREME2 @ TweakTown
“Late last week we gave you an exclusive look at GIGABYTE’s upcoming P55A motherboards. We promised this week we would also give you a look at the upcoming GIGABYTE EX-58 EXTREME2 motherboard. As with the refreshed P55A motherboards, the EX-58 EXTREME2 motherboard carries the same “333” theme. The triple three theme means that SATA3, USB3 and triple power USB has been added to the new version of the popular EXTREME motherboard for the high-end Core i7 processors.”
OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 @ OCInside.de
“We are talking about the brand-new OCZ AMD Black Edition PC3-12800 CL8 kit. When the 4GB AMD Black Edition kit is used in conjunction with an AMD Black Edition CPU on an AOD capable motherboard, the RAM settings can be downloaded by the AMD OverDrive software over the Internet and adjusted automatically.”
OCZ Platinum 1866MHz DDR3 @ Bjorn3D
“OCZ Technologies Memory is one of the most preferred types of memory to have in our computers. Who would not want to have memory that performs well, and stable in our computers? Unlike the Intel 1366 socket Core i7 CPUs tring to find a set of low voltage high frequency memory was next to impossible at the starting of this newer CPU type.”
AMD Athlon II X2 240e 2.8 GHz @ PCStats
“Do you leave your computer on all the time? If you’ve nodded yes to any of the above, it might be time to think about a more power-efficient processor. That’s the idea behind AMD’s Athlon II X2 240e. It’s a 2.8GHz dual-core processor based on the AMD “Regor” core with a TDP of just 45W. The “e” behind the Athlon II X2 240e model name indicates that it’s one of AMDs Energy Efficient processors.”
Here are some prices for several of the top tier to budget end products available. Several new P55 based motherboards have been added to the list, and I will have AMD boards listed soon. Thanks for your support all!

Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2H uATX @ TechWare Labs
“It would seem the growing trend lately is bigger, better and faster. Sometimes bigger is not always better, as in the case of Gigabytes new GA-G41M- ES2h micro ATX motherboard. This board promises to pack a ton of features into the small 9.6″x9.6″ dimensions that make up the micro ATX standard. What may come as a surprise due to its small size and relatively low price range, is this board is designed for high end multimedia and mainstream gaming.”
Preview of Gigabyte P55A Mobos @ TweakTown
“Marvel has since fixed and improved its single disk and RAID 0 supporting SATA3 controller and now we see one of the first motherboards on the market to support the next generation storage system. At the moment, there is no RAID 1 support, but a GIGABYTE product manager mentioned in our meeting that Marvell may come out with a new firmware a little later adding that ability.”
Gigabyte P55 UD5 Motherboard @ Guru3D
“Today we’ll look at Gigabyte’s offering with their P55 UD5 motherboard. The UD5 features Gigabyte’s UD3 suite of features, which include 2oz of copper throughout the PCB, Japanese solid capacitors, low RDS MOSFETs, high-quality ferrite core chokes, and more. The UD5 comes equipped with a modest 12 phase power design. s standard the board has ten USB 2.0 ports and additional USB headers to add another 14 USB ports should you want to.”
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD6 Review @ Overclockers Club
“The Smart Quick Boost utility delivered a 3.84GHz clock speed with the click of the icon or just over 900MHz worth of increase, just by choosing the Twin Turbo option. The Turbo and Faster options delivered clock speed increases, but, as you can imagine, they were not as dramatic as the Twin Turbo option. The 3.84GHz clock speed is about 100Mhz higher than the utilities on the Maximus III Formula and MSI P55-GD65 delivered (at 3.7GHz), but the OC Genie is still by far the easiest to use option with the Gigabyte running a close second.”
