Gigabyte Ep45-Extreme Reviews

[SKREECH]

GIGABYTE’s portfolio of motherboards keeps getting larger and larger. It’s no wonder they are amongst the top three motherboard manufacturers in the market today, right along with ASUS and MSI.

The EP45-Extreme is a close relation of the EP45T-Extreme where the T denotes support for DDR3 memory. We’re looking at a DDR2 motherboard which supports up to 8GB of dual channel DDR2 1,200MHz memory, if you believe the manual, or 16GB of DDR2 1,333MHz memory, if you believe Gigabyte’s website. DDR2 that runs over 1,150MHz is as rare as hen’s teeth and 4GB of memory in four modules is more than enough so let’s agree that the EP45-Extreme supports lots of fast DDR2.

The Intel P45 chipset supports the latest 45nm Penryn Core 2 processor and Gigabyte has added support for the 1,600MHz front side bus so the basic specification of the EP45-Extreme is similar to many P45 boards on the market. Added to that you’ve got proper support for CrossFire where the primary graphics slot is fed 16 lanes of PCIe 2.0 if you’re using a single graphics card or you can have eight lanes per slot if you have two graphics cards in CrossFire.
