Gigabyte GA-K8N51PVMT-9 Review

The GA-K8N51PVMT-9, Gigabyte’s latest entry into the all-in-one motherboard market, ideal for business PCs and media center devices. Boasting the usual array of features plus integrated CineFX 3.0 graphics, this board includes nearly everything needed to get a PC up and running for a budget price, all wrapped up in a micro-ATX form factor.

This board is perfect for the media center, requiring no add-in components to get a system running. Gaming media center devices, however, will require an add-in video card for running anything other than old standbys like Unreal Tournament 2004 or Warcraft III. The GeForce 6150 is probably the fastest desktop integrated video out there, but it’s not the holy grail of computer graphics. Gamers will just have to continue dealing with large, expensive, hot, and loud add-in cards for the time being.
