ASUS P5E3 Premium WIFI @ Bjorn3D
“We will also test the board using the 64 bit version of Vista using both 2GB of high-speed DDR3 as well as 4GB of lower latency DDR3. While this presentation is first and foremost a motherboard review we hope to assist as well in providing data to help you purchase the right accessories to make it shine.”
AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition @ Guru3D
“It’s now April 2008 and AMD released their Phenom X4 50-series processors, with an all new fixed B3 core, hopefully they can now leave the past behind them and move forward with a processor that can actually start competing with the competition. The leading ‘flagship’ processor is the Phenom X4 9850 BE runs at a 2.5 GHz clock frequency at a full 2.0 GHz HT 3.0 speed at a 1.2-1.3V voltage and 125W TDP.”
Gigabyte EP35-DS4 @ Bjorn3D
“For this article we will put one of these new Gigabyte Dynamic Energy Saver (DES) motherboards to the test with a power hungry Q6600 QuadCore processor. We will see if you can really save power without compromising your computers performance or more importantly its stability. By the end of this review we will find out if DES shows any appreciable value or is just more marketing hype to take advantage of the greener marketplace.”
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 @ OC Club
“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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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 @ 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.”
MSI P35 Platinum Combo @ X-Bit Labs
“Today we are going to introduce to you a very interesting combo solution from MSI that is based on Intel P35 Express chipset and can work with DDR3 or DDR2 SDRAM. Find out what the pros and cons of this approach are from our detailed review.”
