Review: Affordable board with good overclock

(This review is also avaiable in German.)

Today we check out the first Gigabyte board in our labs. Gigabyte sent us a combo board, which can handle four slots of DDR2 memory and only two slots with DDR3. If you think this will be future-proof you will be disappointed, because Intel is moving the memory controller into the CPU for the next generation, so all G. P, X 35/38/45/48 boards will be rendered useless with the next Intel CPU generation.
