by Hilbert Hagedoorn
11/17/2008
For those of you who missed the little bomb that Intel dropped earlier on, X58 is the enthusiast high-end chipset for motherboards. Enthusiast also means expensive and I won't lie to you, it would make more sense to just sit it out and wait for cheaper chipset to arrive. This review will cover the GA-EX58-UD5P motherboard from the funky blue colored people at Gigabyte.

ASUS P6T DeLuxe review - X58 motherboard

So ASUS has sent us this early version of their X58 motherboards. Sexy looks, loads of features, heck this motherboard will support up to 24GB of DDR3-1333 memory, thanks to its six DIMM slots. It also has features like a Serial Attached SCSI controller to support higher-end SAS hard drives known from the server industry for power users who desire nothing but the best performance. Next to that, it's just an amazing piece of machinery to look at. Nice black PCB, extravagant connectivity, SLI/ Crossfire compatible, passively cooled. And if you opt the P6T Deluxe OC Palm version, you'll even receive an external little LCD screen showing off the latest system info, widgets and overclocking tools at hand. Very cool.

10/1/2008
A790GXM mainboard test - ECS is trying get a more reach in the enthusiast market, I wasn't surprised to see them release the product as shown today. A mainboard in the 100-125 USD range, yet ECS style - with a bucket load of features like integrated graphics, HDMI connector, passive cooling, 8-channel sound, dual GigE ethernet, Crossfire ready ... and decent tweakability.
ECS Atom 330 Dual Core P945GC review

Take this mainboard from ECS. It comes with integrated Dual Core Atom 330 processor. It has integrated sound, 10/100 Ethernet and integrated graphics. Really all you need to do is insert a slice of DDR2 533 memory and connect a HD, and you are on the web ... browsing at fairly normal speeds, listening to a songs, watching a DVD ... heck it all works fine on that Intel Atom 330 for sure. Next to that, the power consumption is obviously amazing. The platform completely maxed out merely utilizes 55 Watts, and half of that your PSU will account for all by itself.
AMD 790GX - Foxconn A7DA-S review
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
9/3/2008
A review of the AMD 790GX chipset based on the Foxconn A7DA-S mainboard. With the more high-end consumer in mind AMD released the new 790GX series mainboards. The mainboard is a lot about status, as AMD want to re-establish their status and performance levels for their products again. Hey in the end, all you have is your reputation right ? And for a chipset manufacturer that means top dog electronics.
ECS X48T-A review mainboard

7/8/2008
Typically an X48 chipset based mainboard will start at roughly 250 USD. The two chips the mainboard manufacturer has to purchase from Intel total up towards 90 USD alone. I'll spill the beans already for today, you can pickup this product for 199 USD. And it even looks superb.
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 review
by Hilbert Hagedoorn
5/20/2008
What's so new about X48 opposed to the previous X38 you might ask .. well the only difference between the X48 and the X38 chipsets is the official support for 400MHz FSB (1,600MHz effective) CPUs. And let me restate 'official' there as the X38 mainboards can do that FSB perfectly well if you get the latest BIOS. But hey ... this is where we land a the premises of Gigabyte, they make pretty dandy mainboards and especially their high end series always have some cool features that'll tickly your brain and make you all gigly.
