ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe

ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe @ Hardware Secrets

“ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe/Mempipe will be one of the first motherboards to be launched on the market based on the forthcoming nForce 780a chipset – which, by the way, is delaying a lot to be released. But don’t think that nForce 780a is simple the AMD version of the nForce 780i – it isn’t.”

Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6

Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 @ TweakTown

“Today we have GIGABYTE’s new X48 based board with DDR3 memory support. Following the naming lines, anything with DDR3 support gets a “T” added to the name, so today we have the GIGABYTE X48T-DQ6. This is GIGABYTE’s top of the range high performance board. How will it stack up against our already tested MSI X48 Platinum and ASUS’ P5E3 Premium WiFi? – Let’s get down to it and find out!”

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2

Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 @ OC Club

“I went into this review with a mindset that this board is geared to being used in a workstation or Home Theater PC and at that, it does very well. In the science benchmarks, the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 pulls off some impressive numbers compared to competing boards using the same chipset.”

ASUS Striker II Formula

ASUS Striker II Formula @ Hot Hardware

“The Striker II Formula is a member of ASUS’ high-end Republic of Gamers, or ROG, series of motherboards. As such, the board is loaded with features and integrated peripherals that set it apart from run of the mill products. Head on over to the site and check it out…”

MSI X48 Platinum

MSI X48 Platinum @ X-Bit Labs

“It is quite hard to find differences in the technical specifications between the new Intel X48 Express and its predecessor. It also supports all new LGA 775 Intel processors including quad-core ones, works with second generation PCI Express interface, supports DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM, comes equipped with Intel ICH9 South Bridge.”

Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6

“Oh my god, I’ve gone “Green.” What can I say about the GA-X48-DQ6? Well, performance-wise, it stacks up quite well against many of the motherboards out on the market now. In the gaming benchmarks the X48-DQ6 was just dominating. In the scientific benchmarking phase of the testing, it came out on top in well over half the tests and was a close second in most of the others.”

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.”
