ASUS P5K Premium

ASUS P5K Premium @ Au-Ja!

“There are better ways to spend your money than buying DDR3 memory. If you stick to DDR2 you can get a faster CPU and a more powerful video card for the same price. We had a look at the ASUS P5K Premium, a high quality feature rich motherboard that makes a fine base for a Core 2 Quad system.”

ECS A770M-A

ECS A770M-A @ Big Bruin

“The ECS A770M-A (V1.0) AMD 770 motherboard should not be overlooked by anyone looking to build a reliable, low cost system around the latest AMD processors. Those in the market for a highly configurable, overclocking motherboard should keep shopping, but if you want modern features and solid performance right out of the box, this is a good choice.”

ASUS P5K64 WS

ASUS P5K64 WS @ Think Computers

“It’s not something that we in the enthusiast world really think about, but there is a market out there for high-end computers that will probably never do any gaming, be overclocked, water cooled, or any other of the cool stuff that geeks do with their rigs. For example, a design engineer might desire a CAD workstation using multiple large screens…as many as six or eight…at high resolution.”

Gigabyte GA-EX38-DS4

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

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.”

ASUS P5E3 WS Professional

ASUS P5E3 WS Professional @ Mikhailtech

“ASUS has been around for several years now, creating hundreds of award winning motherboards that leave other competing companies in the dust. ASUS is known for their excellent quality build and performance in their motherboards from the past years, but is this still the case?”

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.”
