Gigabyte MA69G-S3H AM2 Motherboard Review

Tue 2007-10-30 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Digit-Life has posted a review of the Gigabyte MA69G-S3H, a Socket AM2 motherboard based on the AMD 690G chipset.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“In a way, this is a very interesting motherboard. It allows displaying on two monitors without having to install a discrete graphics card (cards!). The second monitor can be connected either via HDMI or DVI. In similarity to Gigabyte M55plus-S3G the board provides all of the useful interfaces, such as FireWire and gigabit Ethernet. It appears that the two boards will coexist in harmony with on another as part of the corresponding series of Gigabyte's products. If a user really needs to install a lot of PCI cards, it will be logical to choose an "older" board. On the other hand, if you are interested in high-performance integrated graphics coupled with low heat emission of the chipset and multi-monitor features then the reviewed solution seems like a natural choice.”

For $85-90, this is a solid motherboard for those who don’t need SLI/CrossFire capability, and the 690G chipset is a nice alternative to the venerable nForce 500 series.
