ASRock 890GX Extreme3 @ iXBT Labs
“Without a doubt, this is a worthy representative of the AMD 890GX family. It has everything you need for an all-round configuration. And it’s actually quite hard to name a specific target audience that could be more interested in ASRock 890GX Extreme3, especially considering its attractive price.”
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula @ iXBT Labs
“ASUS Crosshair IV Formula is undoubtedly an original and interesting product. Its features, like GameFirst and ROG Connect, are actually useful and may come in handy. The bundle includes everything you need, and then a bit more.”
Gigabyte H55N-USB3 @ TweakTown
“Not all that long ago VIA introduced a new form factor called Mini-ITX. It was a great idea; a small yet powerful board layout that allowed a decent amount of flexibility. Unfortunately VIA did not have the marketing muscle to get wide acceptance and the idea fell into obscurity. It was not until Intel launched the Atom CPU that we saw a return of the Mini-ITX.”
Gigabyte X58A-UD9 @ TBreak
“The X58A-UD9 is definitely big, measuring in at 13.58″ x 10.31″ (34.5cm x 25.35cm), this XL ATX motherboard won’t even fit in most of the cases currently available in the market. However, Gigabyte was kind enough to provide a list of compatible cases from various vendors that can swallow this behemoth. Despite its size, the UD9 is still jam packed with circuits, transistors, controller chips, heatsinks and, of course, the 7 PCI-Express slots.”
MSI P55A-GD65 @ HardwareSecrets
“Right now MSI has 14 different motherboard models based on the Intel P55 chipset. Let’s take a look at the P55A-GD65 (a.k.a. MS-7585), a stripped-down version of their P55-GD85.”
AMD 890GX – Gigabyte vs. ASRock @ Metku
“To give you an idea of the HD4290 performance we also ran the X3: Terran Conflict-game test with the integrated graphics. As a benchmark here we used the HD 5450 graphics card, which is the slowest card in Ati’s current 5-range of cards. Even compared to this the integrated HD4290 just doesn’t cut it.”
