GigaByte GA-X38-DQ6 MotherboardStrengths: 1333FSB, Intel X-38 Chipset,support for the nw 45nm CPU's, excellent overclocking utility, PCIe 2.0, supports up to 8, GB of DDR2 memory, ATI Crossfire support, excellent packaging. Weakness: None so far I upgraded my system from an Asus P5B Deluxe Motherboard to the Gigabyte GA-X-38 DQ6 board and am very happy with the Gigabyte board. Firstly, the board's blue PCB and multi-colored slots make one great looking piece of hardware. Moving beyond aesthetics, the board is extremely well laid-out with ample headers, slots and ports conveniently placed. Intel's X-38 Express Chipset supports all the latest Intel multi-core CPUs's including the new Penryn 45nm CPU. Gigabyte's system utility for overclocking works very well and allows overclocking to be done right from the utility without having to enter the BIOS. I have experienced stable, solid perfromance with no probelms at all. Gigabyte's Silent Pipe heat pipe cooling and Crazy Cool-a copper heatsink located on the underside of the board-keep the system temperatures low even under load. With it's extensive range of CPU and memory support, this board will reamin a great value well into the future. Kudos to Gigabyte, they cetainly have a winner with this board. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

OVERCLOCKING KING
Strengths: GOOD BOARD LAY OUT, AS THE TITLE STATES, OVERCLOCKS VERY WELL, PENRYN READY. LOTS of BIOS features...
Weakness: EXPENSIVE, NO SATA CONNECTION in 90 DEGREES ANGLE, BACK PLATE PREVENTS COOLER FROM GETTING MOUNTED.
My 1st entire system upgrade from ABIT ICG-MAX3;P4 3.4Gig:ATI X850XT AGP, DDR 400 SATA RAID 0. My patience PAID off. I carefully read all the motherboard reviews in the net from the reputable TECH sites and choose this. I am always an overclocker fan so this fits the bill for me. E2160, 3.4Gigs no problem with litle voltage modification just like it was reported on those PC enthusiast web sites. This should get you through untill new platform from intel come out next year. All in all, you get what you paid for.
