This ATX board does almost everything, but it’s expensive and we’d have preferred more SATA3 ports at this price....

I consider this to be a high mid level motherboard. It's not as expensive as the high-end boards such as the GA-890FXA-UD5 or GA-890FXA-UD7 but it is also not as cheap as lower end mATX models. The 890GPA-UD3H performed well in our benchmarking...

The crown for best integrated graphics processor (IGP) goes back to AMD with the 890GX chipset and its Radeon 4290 onboard. Never mind that SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 hardware have barely started making an appearance in the market. This particular model...

Gigabyte's been really busy lately on the motherboard market so - we're trying to keep the pace with them, as well. We've seen quite a lot of new motherboards in the past couple of weeks - P55, H57, X58, and now finally, some really good...
