#14489 Posted on: 03/10/2002 05:57 AM thanks for the pimpage note the funny atx i/o layout on the gigabyte, and of course, the gigabyte has sound, lan, and raid.

#14491 Posted on: 03/10/2002 06:28 AM ohh, cool, I definately didn't see that, it must be on a seperate header or something, cause the normal usb ports are blanked off Clevo D870P Notebook, P4 3.4ghz NW, 1gb DDR400, Intel 865PE, ATI 9700 Pro 256mb, 60gb, 80gb, DVDRW, 17" LCD, TV Tuner, 1 hour battery life Athlon 64 3700 Sandy @ 9x315 with XP-120, Asus A8N32-SLI, 2x 512mb PC3200 @ 315mhz 2.5/3/4/8, 2x 7800GTX @ 490/1325, 1x 74gb Raptor, 3x 160gb SATA, Audigy 2 ZS, Silverstone TJ-03, Zippy 700w.

#14492 Posted on: 03/10/2002 06:38 AM The MSI web page shows a USB 2.0 4 port card that comes with the M/B. It looks a lot like (identical) to the one that came with the asus mpx M/B.

#14497 Posted on: 03/11/2002 08:16 AM The info on Gigabyte's site seems outdated to me. If you look carefully you'll see that the picture on the Gigabyte website is from 2001 and has the 4-pin power connector near the AGP slot. The most recent pics from Akiba, however, show this connector near the top of the board. There are also other subtle differences. The Gigabyte website might *say* this board has onboard USB but I won't believe it until they update their site. To me, the blocked off USB ports in the latest pics mean that this new board will be using a separate USB card.
