Gigabyte GA-6VXDC7: A Steal

The Gigabyte GA-6VXDC7 is the biggest steal of this comparison. The board currently costs $110, making it virtually comparable in price to a board with one CPU socket. Throughout the entire test, the operational stability of this board was excellent. In the conceptual phase, the manufacturer made the right choice - neither an AMR, an ACR nor a CNR slot was integrated. Although a second socket is available if you want to use the dual BIOS feature, the necessary EPROM chip is conspicuous by its absence. In office environments and in Quake 3 Arena, this board is one of the better performers. All in all, the Gigabyte is a solid basis for workstations fitted with Intel Pentium III processors.
