Today's Pick - Gigabyte GA-G1975X Motherboard

Last week, I have introduced a mainstream Pentium D motherboard. Today, I'll introduce a performance motherboard from Gigabyte - GA-G1975X. Here are a little summary of it:

1. Intel 975X Express chip set
2. CrossFire dual-graphics support (8X)
3. Four SATA-300 ports, two PATA ports
4. RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, 10 support
   
5. LGA775 Intel® Pentium®Extreme Edition/ Pentium® D / Pentium®4 processor FSB1066
6. Supports 4 DIMMs Dual Channel DDR2 667 ECC memory
7. Features dual PCI-E graphics slots running at x8 speed
8. Equipped with flexible PCI-E x4 slots for multi-view application
9. PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
10. Features SATA 3Gb/s and IEEE1394 interfaces
11. Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit 8 channel Audio with DTS support
12. Unique GIGABYTE Turbojet Technology / GIGABYTE C.R.S. support
    

This model has PC World rating of 81 (very good). PC World said "The unusual four-fan cooling system of the GA-G1975X is an interesting approach to the problem of getting heat away from the motherboard, but it's only partly successful: It is a little noisy, and the bright blue LEDs that illuminate it may not appeal to all."
