Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4
$220.00
Released November, 2007
The Pros:Affordable price - has dropped significantly. 140W CPU support - for the latest and most powerful AMD CPUs. CrossfireX Capable - for dual graphics card gaming systems.
The Cons:Most consumers can get a cheaper board and not see any difference in performance. North bridge chip runs at 85c/ 180 f much to hot to run reliably in my opinion ,only 4 sata connectors. Not as full featured as similarly priced Intel platform boards.
