Review of ASUS Maximus II Formula - motherboard - ATX - iP45

A great ASUS motherboard

Advantages: Lots of ports/features, price.
Disadvantages: Slow to pass bois post

...I brought this from ebuyer a few months back, for my new system build. I wanted a motherboard which had plenty of features/ports etc, without braking the bank, and this does just that. With 4 USB port, 7.1 surround sound audio card, 4 rear USB ports + 2 headers, Printer Port, and even 2 PCI-E 16X for SLi and 2 PCI-E and 2 PCI card slots, which is a good use of the slots available, with the PCI-E sure to be used more in the future, with it's smaller and faster slot. So, after unpacking, I found there to be a lot of accessories with this board, keeping up to ASUS's standards. I applied the headers to the case and installed the motherboard easy enough, connected everything up etc. and it was up and running. After setting itself up, I was able to install the operating system. The board had no problem installing the Sata hard drive and disc...

Cheap and Stabil Motherboard

Advantages: Build in Intel 945 Chipset, and cheap.
Disadvantages: -

...ASUS P5GCMX very compatible with the Intel Core2Duo Processor 2.0Ghz. I ever tried with the following specifications: - Kingston 1Gb RAM - Seagate 160GB SATAII HDD - VGA nVidia GeForce 8500GT 512MB 128bit The remarkable speed that I get. Very satisfied with the speed and is very stable. These products are relatively cheap. With the motherboard has a 1333FSB make this work more quickly. the motherboard is also equipped with sound quality that hit, make you are on a home theater room. ASUS motherboard has long been known by many people about the endurance. They have a very good refrigerator. Lack of on the motherboard is the only have 1 IDE slot. Video RAM, which can only be increased up to 256MB. However, as I said. This motherboard is suitable for average user. I recommend this motherboard....

My Dream Machine Motherboard

Advantages: Supports.... Everything!
Disadvantages: As with all boards, difficult to set up!

...Welcome to the fourth installment of my computer component reviews! My motherboard is the 865PE Neo2 - P. I'm assuming that this is the same, it certainly looks the same. MSI is a highly respected motherboard manufactorer and have incorporated the intel 865PE chipset into this fantastic motherboard. Thanks to Rabid's suggestion, I went to the MSI section of overclockers. There I found the one he suggested, below it was this baby. For just £10 more I could have dual DDR RAM, as well as a few other minor enhancements. This board has all the standard features, like AGP 8x, ATA 133 support and 5 PCI ports. It's also got 4 ram slots (with dual DDR ram support and supporting up to 500Mhz RAM on overclock speeds). It supports all pentium 4 chips including the new Extreme and Prescott processors. For those who don't understand that...

An Excellent Motherboard

Advantages: i820 Chipset that is stable, can force 133Mz FSB
Disadvantages: None that I can think of !

...Lots has been said about the Intel i820 chipset not working well on SDRam based motherboards but I personally have had absolutely no problems since I bought my PIIISCD back in April. I initially chose the PIIISCD as I was looking for an i820 based board that allowed both 100 & 133 Mhz FSB and was not disappointed when my board arrived from Dabs. Setup was extremely easy and quick and within no time my PIII 550E based machine was up & running. Supermicro are not known for their ability to overclock well but as things had been so simple I thought 'what the hell - I'll force the 133FSB & see what happens'. To my amazement the PC booted straight up with the processor running at 733Mhz & after a bit of tweaking (adding an extra fan to keep the temp below 40 degrees) my PC really was fireing on all cylinders. I would definitely...

Review of SUPERMICRO PIII SCD - motherboard - ATX - i820

This is a budget motherboard.

Advantages: Loads of features for the price
Disadvantages: A poor performer

...- Summary - I bought this motherboard to build a new mid-range system (3.0ghz processor, 1GB DDR 400 RAM). I ended up replacing it with a better motherboard because of the poor performance of the ASRock 775V88+. All I can say here, is that it's true what they say about the motherboard being the most important component of a system. A poor motherboard will simply fail to get the best out of the other components. There's no point buying a decent, fast processor and RAM when the motherboard can't take advantage of it. - Specification - For a cheap motherboard (about £38-£40 depending on where you buy from) it boasts a pretty impressive feature set, hence why I bought it in the first place. There is no point reproducing the entire list when it's available here: http://www.asrock.com/Product/775V88+.htm Just a quick few...

The GIGA motherboard

Advantages: lots of features
Disadvantages: cluttered design

...The Gigabyte GA-8ANXP-D is the best motherboard out there in the market today, it also has a lot of package including DPS, and a Wireless LAN card. I buy this mobo for my new Prescott 2.8 GHZ hoping that this will be the most suitable partner for my processor. The motherboard includes 4 Serial ATA cables for use with either the native ICH6 supported connections, or those provided by the additional Silicon Image SATA RAID controller. The package also includes a single IDE cable, single floppy cable with a color gray, There are 9 USB 2.0 ports which supports IEE1394 devices. You will never run out of USB ports with this motherboard. The installation guide is quick and easy to follow especially for those novice users including me. This motherboard really has a product manual and documentation.The only bad thing that I can say about...

Review of Gigabyte GA-8KNXP - motherboard - ATX - i875P

Great motherboard for a midrange system

Advantages: Cheap but not compromsing, basic yet brilliant
Disadvantages: Asrock's website leaves a lot to be desired

...When it came to ordering components for my new system, a motherboard never really crossed my mind as being an important aspect in performance. Still, after much deliberation I decided to go for the Asrock939Dual-Sata2 based on price. Don't let the price fool you into thinking it's a tacky component, it's actually a very well rounded robust motherboard for any system based around the AMD (socket 939) architecture. The box comes with SATA cables, a software disc and a basic manual. Installation was easy and pain free and the main areas of the board are well designed for fitting inside a case. Interestingly, the motherboard comes with an AGP slot and a PCI 16x express slot, leaving you the option of reusing an old graphics card or moving on up to the latest PCI express ones. The PCIe slot itself leaves enough room for a pretty large...
