The onboard Graphics(ATI Radeon HD3200) fetched
2000+ in 3DMARK 2006 benchmarking......
This is ideal for an average gamer...... A dedicated graphics could be plugged in and crossfired with the IGP for better performance, but lacks since support is only for
Low-end ATi HD Cards
The onboard Sound is excellent (
106dB SNR ALC889A HD audio) with
- Support for DTS (dts NEO
C)
- Support for S/PDIF In/Out
More than that an
eSATA port is available on this board....
Supports
16GBs of Memory to the maximum....
Solid Capacitors used on the board ensures better life for the board....
All these for a price tag under 5000/-
BUT SEVERAL REVIEWS OF THIS MOTHER BOARD SHOWS CONCERN OVER HEATING PROBLEMS ON THE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS SOLUTION...... Also it has been heard that gigabyte has rectified this in the newer version of this board
rev1.1 to be right...adding additional cooling solution would be another option for that heating woes.......
OVERALL A Good FUTURE AND FEATURE rich board........
A GOOD BUY FOR THE PRICE
Comments and corrections are all welcome...... ahoy....
