Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5
$299.00
Released November, 2007
The Pros:Will run CrossFire on a pair of PCI-E x16 slots and still have slots left over. Overclocking is well designed, can boost performance at several points. Allows for fine-tuning and advanced adjustment.
The Cons:Oversize coolers will block one or two memory slots. Comes with the bare minimum for SATA cables, need to get more if you're building a RAID.
