Athlon Boosters - Three AMD 760 Boards for DDR SDRAM

Gigabyte GA-7DX: Typical OEM Board

The only representative in this review to be equipped with a normal AGP slot is the Gigabyte GA-7DX. All other candidates are furnished with an AGP Pro slot.

In this review, the Gigabyte GA-7DX keeps a low profile. Nothing exceptional can be said of its features; in a test run it goes through its paces without problems. Its performance is almost identical to that of the Biostar.

The front-side-bus can be adjusted rather variably between 100 MHz and 149 MHz. These adjustments, however, have only little significance in real life because the clock multiplier cannot be altered. All told, the Gigabyte board is a good solution for OEM manufacturers looking for a solid board to use with DDR SDRAM memory. No more, no less.
