ECS A780GM-A @ PCStats
“The ECS A780GM-A motherboard is an affordable media center platform based on the mainstream AMD 780G chipset. This spunky little integrated graphics chipset is ideal for home theatre PC/media applications, or budget-friendly workstation PC’s because of its built in Radeon HD 3200-class videocard. The AMD 780G brings several new technologies to the table when paired with AMD’s Phenom AM2+ processors, without abandoning support for socket AM2 Athlon64/X2/FX CPUs.”
DFI LanParty DK 790GX-M2RS @ MadShrimps
“DFI has taken the latest AMD 790GX chipset and loaded it on a flashy motherboard fitted with custom cooling and fully fleshed out BIOS which allows you to tweak almost every aspect of the AM2+ platform. Let us find out if the engineers at DFI were able to extract more performance from the 790GX chipset compared to the competition.”
Gigabyte EX58-Extreme @ Motherboards.org
“The EX58-Extreme motherboard overclocked to nearly 4GHz, the second highest we’ve seen from an X58 motherboard so far. Gigabyte’s board is worthy of a Hot Product award with only the fact that it didn’t overclock as high as the fastest board we have tested keeps it from getting the Editor’s Choice award.”
Intel X58 Extreme DX58SO @ Motherboards.org
“Intel has a lot to be happy about with their new CPU and X58 family launch, firmly taking over the enthusiast market with new processors that are clearly faster than the last generation. The DX58SO motherboard is nearly as fast as the other boards on the platform, with minor differences due to the board manufacturer tweaks in performance.”
