GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3P Motherboard Review

**MIG-31** · Apr 25, 2008, 08:22 AM

When I was first introduced to computers, Gigabyte was considered a budget friendly manufacturer. At the time when Socket A was was a good choice, Gigabyte was the popular alternative at nearly every local PC store. If you purchased any other cheaper motherboard maker, you were taking a big risk. I can see that there are a few of you reading this that remember those days with a slight grimace like expression.

It almost seems like a distant memory, AMD Dominating the market

When in fact it may have only been 2/3 years now.
Gigabyte do make fantastic boards, i'd almost go as far to say their unique style puts them at the top of the chain for all ends of mobos because they cater to every market. The OC'ing and UV Reactive colours are great for enthusiasts and gamers that like to show off, rock solid stability (when your chipset isn't faulty like the one on my 945P was lol, i did want another one of the same board but they didn't have any at CCL anymore

) as well which is good.

To be honest i'm surprised the P35 chipset is still catered for, isn't it all X38/48 now?
