ASUS M3N78 Pro Motherboard Review

Integrated graphics on the motherboard are a bit of a joke on the Intel side of things with the NVIDIA GeForce 7050 and Intel G45 being the king of the hill on that side of the fence. Both have issues in that the GeForce 7050 is DirectX 9.0c only and the Intel chipset has issues with numerous games and performance isn’t the greatest.

The AMD side of the integrated graphics battle is a lot better with solutions from both NVIDIA and ATI that support DirectX 10.0 and performance that while not the same class as the latest graphics cards from either company, do the job. NVIDIA launched the GeForce 8300 motherboard chipset in July and it supports DirectX 10 natively. Today the motherboard on the test bench is the ASUS M3N78 Pro which is based upon the GeForce 8300 motherboard chipset.

Gigabyte EP45-UD3P Motherboard Review

The Intel P45 Express chipset has been amazingly competitive within the market the true successor to the P35 chipset that preceded it. Every major motherboard manufacturer with the obvious exception of AMD and certain NVIDIA partners that use NVIDIA chipsets only such as EVGA and XFX has at least 3 P45 motherboards in their lineup.

Gigabyte is a Tier-1 motherboard manufacturer based in Taiwan and is a favorite among the hardcore enthusiast crowd due to their tweaking options on their boards. A couple of years ago Gigabyte introduced the Ultra Durable brand of technologies to lower power usage and increase overclocking capability. Ultra Durable 3 the latest generation of these technologies was introduced last month. Today I’m reviewing the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P motherboard based upon their Ultra Durable 3 technology.

ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe Motherboard Review :: Introduction

AMD has been making chipsets for their CPUs for years now. Their latest high-end chipset is the AMD 790FX which was launched along with the SB600 as the ultimate solution for their CPUs. For the most part, the 790FX was an excellent choice but there were a couple of deficiencies in the SB600 chipset that were fixed in the launch of the SB750 Southbridge. This new Southbridge was launched with the 790GX motherboard chipset and today several motherboard manufacturers have built motherboards with the new combination, making for a powerful choice on the AMD side of things.

ASUS motherboards have long been a favorite of mine here at Motherboards.org. In point of fact, every motherboard in our personal systems is all based upon ASUS motherboards. ASUS has long been known as an excellent innovator on the motherboard front with high-end enthusiasts loving their boards due to the excellent overclock ability, the features and the tweaking that their boards allows and general high performance make ASUS boards excellent choices for the consumer. The general negative of their boards is the higher price compared to the competition, but again here is where the quality of their boards comes in. Today’s review is of the ASUS M3A79-T board that combines the old 790FX chipset with the SB750.
