 "Reliable, cheap, quality motherboard" 2008-11-27
By J. Clay
I bought this motherboard for more money elsewhere. But then again, it probably came out the same, since I bought it in a store, and didn't pay shipping.



Regardless, I bought this because I got a new quad core chip, and was looking for a cheap motherboard so my wife could multitask without slowing down her computer, since she opens (many) internet browser windows, and word docs, and videos, and on and on...



Pros: The motherboard was easy to install, had good instructions, and worked first time. Cheap, fast, and reliable motherboard. Seems to be well made. Supports DDR2 800MHZ memory. I bought 2gb RAM (2 x 1 gb sticks, corsair, from amazon for only $34.99 with free shipping) which was half the price of Walmart.



Cons: This board has NO IDE connections, so if you have an internal CD or DVD rom that uses IDE connections, you're hosed. So you'll need to get an external USB drive, or an IDE-SATA adapter, which I've never used, and don't know how reliable they are. Other than that, it's working fine, and is well worth the money. My box didn't come with any SATA cables, only the motherboard, chassis interface (thin metal panel), instructions, and driver disk. This might be how they all come, don't know, but think about it before you buy. You might have to buy some SATA cables. Still, this was a GREAT deal.

 "Vendor is great, fast and customer friendly" 2010-03-25
By Wayne W. Randall
Item was shipped quick, absoulate new condition. I just ordered the wrong one or type the vendor was johnny on the spot willing to do a RMA for the correct item. That is good customer service. My mistake but he wanted a happy customer and was ready to make it right for me. That is what I call a very NICE experience.

 "Not for Core 2 Duo or newer CPUs!" 2009-02-24
By Scott E. Lord
This is a hefty heat sink for cheap, but it's designed to mount onto older socket 775 processors, specifically the cpu's (such as Celeron D, among others) that are actually on a card, plugged into the mother board.



If your CPU is directly on the motherboard and NOT on a separate removable card, this is NOT FOR YOU.



Clarification on the advertisement should be made.

 "Awesome MB!" 2009-10-11
By Zha93 (Grand Haven, MI)
This is one excellent MB! I've been an Asus fan for years, but I've grown tired of trying to get newly updated (stable) drivers from them. So I picked intel this time. Not the most over-clockable mb ever produced, but it's fast, stable and the latest win7 drivers work excellent!

 "Excellent Motherboard" 2009-05-10
By Christopher (Trinidad West Indies)
This board is great for those who may be looking to make the transition from PATA to SATA (1 PATA & 4 SATA11) and VGA to HDMI (has both ports). or just like having that option.



Used this board with the following components with no problems



Hard Drive: WD 1TB 7200rpm 16MB cache Sata11.

Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 Processor, 2.5 GHz, 2M L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB, LGA775

Ram: 4GB (2x2) Corsair XMS2 DDR2 (4-4-4-12, 64Mx8 DRAMS)

DVD Burner: LG Lightscribe SATA11

Running Windows XP Professional



Installation was very simple.. Intel all-in-one installation cd did all the work for the mobo drivers. Sound drivers were also good. Have had trouble in the past with the essential series boards conflicting with the microsoft xp sound drivers (especially for high def sound)..



All told this is a great motherboard.. at least until DDR3 and i7 processor prices drop :)

 "Best Bang For The Buck" 2010-03-03
By Seant Newcomb (Sunny Florida)
Amazon is really awesome! I purchased this board for a new build. My original board was DOA, but Amazon sent me another Overnight Priority. This thing is a monster for overclocking and Gigabyte honors a three year warranty (Build date not purchase date). I've been using their boards for all of my builds. Awesome price with dependability from this company. No wonder they are the leaders of motherboard manufacturing. This board is also very desirable for building the almighty "Hackintosh".

 "Gigabyte MB" 2010-02-14
By Joseph A. Stone (Sav, GA)
Excellent board. Three months so far, not a hiccup or lock-up or BSOD. Decent instruction book. BIOS easy to navigate. Once again Gigabyte produced a good, solid board. Definitely recommend this board.

 "Good bang for the Buck" 2010-02-06
By Franklin W. Cathcart (Alamogordo NM USA)
The directions that came with this board were fairly straight forward, I like the 775 Processer socket because of all the processers I can put in it. I stuck a Core Dou 3 GHz 1333 MHz 6 MB processor in it for $167.99 amd 8GBs of Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400CS RAM for about $186.00 This Mother board was 137.29. A Diamond Radon HD 4650 Video card (from Comp USA)for $89.99. A Western Digital 1TB SATA hd for $84.99 and $68.35 for a Star Tech 500 watt power supply. Total $737.88 for everything purchased from Amazon except the video card. I put all this into my old modified Gateway 700s tower (with extra venting and fans) with existing DVD RW and a floppy. All the old and new stuff went together without a hitch and it is working just fine. This is one fast 700s now and even with the extra cooling it is a lot quieter. This motherboard allowed me to do this project and I'm happy with the results. even though Windows 7 is being a pain not recognizing my old printer.

 "Best Motherboard Ever!" 2010-01-27
By Aaron Wong (Los Angeles, CA USA)
It may be out of date now, but just read on any forums that deals with pc's and you will see this is one of the most commonly used motherboards for people who custom-build their computers.



Great design, cool colors and even comes with an e-sata port!

 "Great Motherboard" 2010-01-21
By TanMan (NJ)
Very good motherboard for a very good price. I was upgrading the RAID-5 array in my media server (from 4 x 500GB to 4 x 1.5TB), but it turns out my old Asus P5D motherboard's ICH7R RAID controller could only support a 2TB volume size, so I needed a motherboard with a newer RAID chipset. This motherboard includes an ICH10R controller (now called the Series 4 by Intel). The LGA 775 socket allowed me to transfer my old Pentium D 820 to this motherboard, but when a Q6600 came available from another system, I dropped that in instead.



I have 2 x 1024 DIMM's and 2 x 2048 DIMM's for a total of 6GB RAM. Note that due to some stability issues, Corsair (the memory manufacturer) had me increase the voltage to the memory and the memory controller. They said that was because they design the memory for 2-stick installation, and the 4 sticks draw more power. The increase solved my stability issues.



Because I now had 6GB of RAM (I only had 2GB before), I needed to go to a 64-bit O/S. Windows 7 x64 installed perfectly with no additional drivers needed. That was sweet.



Because of the stability issues, I haven't overclocked yet. To tell the truth, it's a media and data server, and I really don't want any data corruption, so even if I do overclock this puppy, I won't be aggressive.



The only issue I have with the motherboard is the substandard video controller. If you get this motherboard, I suggest you also get a nice $75 video card with 1GB of RAM - that'll let you run Aero, and your performance will be better.
