Intel 865/875
For gamers and speed fans we’ll narrow our recommendations to Abit and DFI. Abit provides better hardware specifications and supports gorgeous setup capabilities while DFI is definitely aimed at gamers and offers relevant accessories to its motherboard
The premium class is populated by motherboards from AOpen, Asus, ECS, Gigabyte, Supermicro and Tyan. Certain peculiarities of Abit and DFI motherboards also let us rank them as representatives of the upper class depending on your personal preferences. The leadership belongs to AOpen, Asus and Gigabyte followed by a Photon series motherboard from ECS. The Supermicro and Tyan motherboards will suit workstations. The Supermicro motherboard allows to build a decent entry-level server thanks to PCI-X support and two gigabit LAN controllers. However both products are special case and will scarcely be used in a ordinary desktop PC. Here is a intel pc drivers.
Altogether we recommend the products from Biostar, AOpen and Asus. The Biostar motherboard has a magnificent price-quality ratio and WLAN module. AOpen has managed to combine a wide set of functions with extremely high quality of components while Asus once again offered a bellwether product thanks to superior set of functions and incredible memory test results.
