The Battleground, Continued

A Layout Of The Battleground, Continued

Next to Gigabyte’s display gallery there was a P45 motherboard dynamic demo show. It included an AMD CrossFire platform comprised of the GA-EP45T-EXTREME with two GV-R487-1GH-B, and a demo platform consisting of the GA-EP45-UD3P with the GV-R4850OC-1GH. The GA-EP45T-EXTREME is the designated game hardware.

Partner Products

Visitors could glimpse the latest products from ViewSonic, Western Digital and Corsair, which worked out well since Corsair’s DDR3-1800 memory modules and WD VelociRaptor hard disks were designated competition hardware. Products from Intel and AMD were tied into related products introduced by Gigabyte.

Corsair exhibited its products including DDR2 and DDR3 RAM and power supply devices.

Among the newly-introduced Intel P45 motherboards like the GA-EP45-UD3P, we also noticed Intel’s soon-to-be-released X58 motherboard : the model number is GA-EX58-UD4P. Due to NDA restrictions, though, performance was not demonstrated.

    Duncan NZchicks.... AND ...When?


    Sorry for the disrespect...not. I like GA, earlier this would have been worth more. Now I want to see the i7, even though I know it's a server chip.

    More chicks, sorry I'm a pig.

    Just noticed, all the mentions of the Gigabyte boards on display are wrong concerning the GA-P45-UD3 board. You labeled it as a GA-P45-UD3P, which it is not because it has only 1 PCIe 2.0 slot.

    There are 3 models
    GA-P45-UD3 (shown)
    GA-P45-UD3R (different chipset cooler)
    GA-P45-UD3P (2 pcie 2.0)
