Here is the bestselling Intel motherboard at Amazon.com. Gigabyte has long been a leader in energy-saving motherboards and their GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard continues the trend. This Intel board features 6 gear power switching. This lets you have power when you need it, and save energy and money when you don't. Based on Intel's P45 Express and ICH10R chipsets, this ATX board is ready to host the latest LGA775 Core 2 Extreme multi-core processors along with Core 2 quad-core, Core 2 Duo, Pentium D and Celeron CPUs. Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Intel motherboard offers CrossFire support in dual x8 mode, native support for DDR2-1366 memory speeds, a revised cooling system, dual PCI-E, Gigabit LAN controllers with teaming, and Dolby Home Theater support via the Realtek ALC889a. Add in an integrated TPM data encryption chip, eight SATA ports, and IEEE 1394a support plus several other features. The P45 supports either DDR2 or DDR3 memory. Officially, the P45 does not support a 1600Mhz front-side bus, as found on the high-end Core 2 Extreme QX9770 quad-core processor. However, all motherboard manufacturers (aside from ECS) are marketing their models as FSB1600 capable. Memory-wise, the chipset has been validated for operation up to DDR3-1333 and DDR2-800, but a few manufacturers have certified their own models for operation up to DDR3-2000 and DDR2-1366+. The Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard stays true to its mainstream roots by shipping in a comparatively plain white box. The motherboard itself is packed in a standard anti-static (ESD) bag, unlike the high-end EP45-DQ6 which ships in a protective plastic enclosure. Gigabyte have bundled great quality cables with the GA-EP45-UD3P Intel motherboard. The cables come with handy 90 degree connectors, and all the connectors have a clip that ensures that they remain securely fastened to your hardware. The eSATA bracket further enhances this motherboard's already impressive connectivity options, and comes with a very handy external molex connection, which could be used to power external radiator fans for a water cooling system. This Intel motherboard has a superior layout, great BIOS, incredible overclocking capabilities, high quality components, and a price that belies its feature set and performance. Every slot or connector has been perfectly placed to ensure ease of use and no compatibility problems. Even running CrossFire on the board was easy as all of the SATA ports remain accessiblen.
