Market Survey, Part 2: Six Premium Pentium 4 LGA775 Boards

Gigabyte GA-8AENXP-DW, Continued

All of Gigabyte's motherboards normally come with two BIOS flash chips, so a "backup" chip is available to boot the board if there is a problem performing a BIOS update.

Gigabyte is also showing off its robust accessories this time, including three IDE, ten SATA, and two SATA II cables.

The PCI slots are inconveniently arranged, so only two can be used at one time in actual practice.
