| 643969 | 2008-02-27 02:50:00 | It's a nice solid motherboard. Entry level, but good. I use Gigabytes AMD equivalent all the time, and find it good. Personally I prefer Asus boards, but the Gigabyte still has a good warranty and are of similar (good) quality. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 643970 | 2008-02-27 02:52:00 | Thanks Wratterus - what's it lacking that more expensive boards would have? | nofam (9009) | ||
| 643971 | 2008-02-27 03:29:00 | Not a lot really, just the flasher boards have more options for peripherals, things like built in firewire, sometimes they can handle faster RAM, FSB speeds etc, more PCI slots, better quality components (sometimes)..all that kind of shiz. Which if you don't need it/them, theres no point in paying more for something you don't need! Just noticed - the board you have there has most of the stuff I mentioned - Didn't look at the specs properly the first time. Good board. |

| 643972 | 2008-02-27 04:03:00 | Very pretty. Except for the blue base. They're OK, I prefer the ASUS BIOS to Gigabytes though. And be aware that while it has its own handy Image program, you need 2 partitions to do it, not just 2 drives with a partition each - at least last time I tried it out it did.. |
