    5770s, XFX, Deal

    G67 vs P67, 889a equivalent?

    Hello, I love my current i7 system, but am thinking of building another. Question 1: Could somebody break down the benefits of H67 vs P67? I would be mostly using it for CPU intensive, highly threaded tasks so the 2600 or 2600k is what I want. I get almost a 2x boost compared to the i5...

    Gigabyte Watching Hackintosh?

    It seems like Gigabyte is paying attention to Hackintosh based on BIOS updates etc. Do you think they will work to make more compatible inexpensive motherboards (889a audio etc), or is this wishing for too much?
