GIGABYTE - Gigabyte K8NNXP 940 Motherboard Review

Short Media reviews the nForce3-150 based Gigabyte K8NNXP 940:

There are very few motherboards available that support Athlon FX51 and Athlon FX53 940-pin processors and the Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP 940 is one of them. Gigabyte are the most visible on the market next to the ASUS SK8N and the rarer SK8V. The MSI K8T Master Series for 940-pin processors is even more rare. Gigabyte has a reputation of making their flagship motherboard products feature rich and the K8NNXP is no exception. It bests the ASUS SK8N for options and price.

…The Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP 940 stands at the top of the list. It does so simply because it comes with more on the motherboard and in the box than the ASUS SK8N. It also runs neck in neck with the SK8N in benchmarks. Gigabyte is a top tier vendor. There are some that swear by the Gigabyte product and others who swear at it. This is true of any motherboard platform. ASUS has a reputation for stability yet the ASUS SK8N test sample was "quirky" but out of the box. There were some memory issues and Call of Duty would consistently freeze. Meanwhile the Gigabyte GA-8KNNXP 940 was completely stable and easy to work with.
