EVGA 680i SLI 775 A1

EVGA 680i SLI 775 A1 @ Motherboards.org

“EVGA has the best warranty in the motherboard business for the A1 series boards and that is hard to beat from any angle. Most of these NVIDIA chipset motherboards are identical in almost every way except cosmetics so actually any 680i motherboard will be basically the same quality.”

“We return to Gigabyte’s stables to give their high-end X38 based DQ6 series another go. This time, we take the DDR3 GA-X38T-DQ6 out for a spin instead. How does the GA-X38T-DQ6 fare in comparison to the DDR-only GA-X38-DQ6? Find out inside.”

ASUS P5K

ASUS P5K @ TweakTown

“So far we have looked at a few P35 boards both based on DDR2 and DDR3 memory technologies from the major players like GIGABYTE, ASUS, MSI, Universal abit and even from the more unfamiliar companies like Foxconn and ECS. All of these offer a pretty good design and feature set depending on what your intent is.”

Biostar TP35D2-A7

Biostar TP35D2-A7 @ PCStats

“Biostar’s TP35D2-A7 motherboard is built with Intel’s P35 Express and ICH9 chipsets, so with a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processor it becomes the backbone for a good WindowsXP or Vista PC. If you’re not interested in frills you can get the performance of the P35 Express without blowing a lot of money. Yup, performance without spending a fortune.”

Biostar T-Force TP35D3-A7 Deluxe

Biostar T-Force TP35D3-A7 Deluxe @ OC Online

“We have taken a rather intense look at the Biostar TP35D3-A7 Deluxe and there have been plenty of highlights along the way. The looks and layout were not the only impressive points. The system performance was easily on par if not better than another P35 DDR2 based motherboard and the hard drive performance was certainly “playing ball” with all contenders.”

Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6

“The Intel X38 chipset has arrived featuring full speed PCIe x16 CrossFire support and introducing PCI Express 2.0. The Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 is the first retail-ready enthusiast class motherboard based on this new chipset to reach our labs and we’ve got the full scoop right here.”

ECS NF650iSLIT-A

ECS NF650iSLIT-A @ FutureLooks

“Our friends at ECS are back with a performance board for the more budget conscious users. Based on NVIDIA’s 650i chipset, the ECS NF650iSLIT-A offers much of the performance of its 680i brothers but with fewer tweaking features, smaller bundle, and of course, a lower price. Let’s check it out!”

ASUS P5E3

ASUS P5E3 @ TweakTown

“We have already looked at the X38 in detail with our GIGABYTE X38-DQ6 board, however this board was only running DDR2 memory. Today we have been given our first DDR3 supporting X38 from ASUS, the P5E3. How does it fair compared to GIGABYTE’s X38 and P35T? Let’s have a look see.”

Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6

Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 @ HardwareZone

“Just as how the GA-965P-DQ6 was the flagship of the Ultra Durable series, a new ‘DQ6’ board would take the helm of the Ultra Durable 2 line. However, due to the nature of the P35 chipset, Gigabyte has two models in production, the DDR2-only GA-P35-DQ6 and the DDR3 variant, GA-P35T-DQ6.”

Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H

Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H @ Motherboards.org

“It is small, has HDMI output for High-Def viewing, decent sound and embedded graphics for those who only game in a little way. As far as being a gamer oriented product the Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H is mildly in that category, but no CrossFire support puts it in the low spectrum and onboard DX9 only graphics are considered in the same fashion.”
