Gigabyte DUO board - thoughts?

Post by Mobius »

With about 15 FPS in the other D3 ;) it's time for a rebuild. Don't think I want to splash for a PCI x16 GFx card at the same time though.

Gigabyte are offering their DUO boards with a G.E.A.R slot, which is an AGP 8X compatible slot routed through the PCI bus - which means you can use your old AGP card until you upgrade to a PCI express model.

Does anyone have any of these boards?

They seem full-featured, with LGA775 socket, DDR1 and DDR2 support (up to 4GB - but I'd run 2 x 512 DDR1) loads of SATA (4!) ATA100 x 1, ATA133 x 2, etc. The model I'm interested in is GA-8I915P Duo.

Your thoughts? Thanks.
