Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4 @ Bjorn3D
“Current motherboards seem to be performing so close to each other that often motherboards with same chipsets will have performance less than 5% from each other. In order to differentiate themselves among other boards, motherboard manufactures are starting implement different approaches.”
ASUS P5K-E WIFI-AP @ Au-Ja!
“The ASUS P5K-E WIFI-AP offers almost the same features as the ASUS P5K Premium but you’ll save 30-40 Euros. If you don’t need a second Gigabit-LAN controller, this motherboard might be the better choice. We’ve compared the two mainboards and show you the differences.”
MSI P35 Platinum Combo @ X-Bit Labs
“Today we are going to introduce to you a very interesting combo solution from MSI that is based on Intel P35 Express chipset and can work with DDR3 or DDR2 SDRAM. Find out what the pros and cons of this approach are from our detailed review.”
MSI K9A2 Platinum @ Neoseeker
“I was quite pleased with how well the MSI K9A2 Platinum overclocked – it managed to reach 270MHz HT speed stably; granted this is lower than the 300MHz the M2N32-SLI can reach, but it is very good for a Socket
AM2 motherboard nonetheless.”
Foxconn G33M-S @ Virtual-Hideout
“I have really grown to like the Foxconn G33M-S a lot. It’s a good looking board with an excellent feature set and has proven to be extremely reliable. The integrated Intel chipset will more than satisfy your basic graphics needs like surfing the web, checking email, and even some light gaming.”
Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L @ Techgage
“There are few P31-based motherboards on the market, but as we find out, they are well-deserving of some attention. The board we are taking a look at today hovers around $100, but despite it’s value status, it’s a great offering.”
MSI K9A2 Platinum @ ViperLair
“The 790FX platform as a whole is quite solid and shows a lot of promise. Provided you’re planning to stay closely within specifications, we think the MSI K9A2 Platinum AMD 790FX motherboard is a solid and reliable platform but the overclocking results surely vary depending on the processor you have.”
ASUS BLITZ Formula @ PCStats
“The Asus BLITZ Formula motherboard is based around Intel’s P35 Express Northbridge and ICH9R Southbridge chipsets. It supports up to 8GB of DDR2 800/1066 MHz memory. The motherboard also has two integrated Gigabit network cards, two IEEE 1394a ports, 12 USB 2.0 slots, six Serial ATA II slots (RAID 0,1,5,10,JBOD), one IDE channel and supports AMD CrossFire technology too.”
Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 DES @ Benchmark Reviews
“Motherboards are at the heart of every computer, and their importance is central to stable system operation. No matter if you are a low-demand office worker who plugs away on letters or spreadsheets or if you are a high-performance hardware enthusiast who demands extreme framerates from your video games, one component alone will determine your ability: the motherboard.”
Gigabyte 6Quad GA-P35-DQ6 @ Motherboards.org
“The performance of the board in default mode is right up there with the ASUS Blitz Formula Edition and the other enthusiast motherboards on the new test platform that we’ll be reviewing in the upcoming weeks. Feature-wise, the 6Quad GA-P35-DQ6 fully utilizes all of the features of the P35 chipset with the exception of the non-inclusion of DDR3 support (not an issue as DDR2 is still the main memory available), scoring a 40 on our Features chart.”
