Gigabyte's GA-7DPXDW

Posted by: Hooz on: 01/30/2002 10:53 PM [ Print | 14 comment(s) ]

It appears that Gigabyte is ready to step into the dual AMD ring. They have posted the specifications and a nice picture of their new GA-7DPXDW motherboard.

If nothing else, it sure is neat looking!

I thought it looked familiar, but someone also sent me the press release in PDF format, so I thought it must be new.

Sorry about that. Go look at it anyway :)

Yes, because they are lame and require a login (even if anonymous).

[sigh] Maybe I should just delete the whole post, eh? :(

I got in no problem,

did anyone else notice the FOUR ide connections?
can we say ide raid (even though softraid MAY be faster) :eek:

it also has several dipswitches meaning a good possibility that overclockers will get something to play with

it also has onboard usb (in an odd place) and an onboard nic
thus leaving 3 free 32/33 pci slots

if anybody has experience w/ gigabyte motherboards plz post since i have never ran one, i would like to know how stable they are.

DracoDan,I'm using a dual PIII Gigabyte motherboard(dual 1 gig processors) and haven't had no issues with it although I don't think this board is overclockable at all(wish it was) mine is a GA-6VXDC7. Been running it 24/7 for months with no problems. Now I hope that the dual AMD motherboard is stable, I wouldn't mind putting it in my AMD box that has a MSI-6167 motherboard(900mhz thunderbird) if it would fit,having a dual AMD/intel systems is w00t for me. Notice I don't have any boards that is overclockable? LOL I'm a sad one indeed LOL

It looks like it should be a pretty good board. I'm still waiting for a features comparison between all the new mpx boards out there from somebody.

BTW: Hooz - Cowboy Bebop is the greatest anime ever. I love the icon.

Only MPX boards shipping right now are Tyan and Asus. Got within about 0.5cm of the MSI last night, but that was a plexiglass display case - no shipping data on the sucker yet.

Walking the streets of Tokyo (Akihabara), the Asus MPX is available, Tiger MP in several places, but no Tyan MPX, nor any other MPX - also no dates available either.

I got bored and just on-line ordered the 2466N from the US - who cares about shipping charges!:rolleyes:

Looks like the Gigabyte still has 2 working USB ports? Why only 2, and are they 'fixed' I wonder?

It sounds like they might have just added an on-board usb controller separate from the chipset... so yes, usb should work, but would a usb keyboard get you into your bios? I don't think so...

Anyone miss their dual ppro system?  ;)

I'll never buy MSI again, their stuff is just not stable, 3 of the last 4 boards I've had of their stuff had stability issues. I put the same hardware on Abit and Asus and Gigabyte boards and all was fine.

I love Gigabyte stuff. It's my new corp standard I use for low-end servers, since I don't overclock the systems I build for corp use. Used to use SuperMicro and Tyan only, but I've found that Gigabyte's stuff is rock-solid at a comparitive discount.

I also have that same dual PIII board and it's stability has blown away the VP6 stability, never a single blue screen or freeze EVER, and it's been running and handling requests for 24/7 for six months with Win2k Pro SP1 running Apache's Jakarta-Tomcat servlet engine. Haven't even had to restart tomcat once!

I'm thinking my next duallie may involve that Gigabyte board, as my VP6 is beginning to drive me nuts. Hopefully, the board won't be too expensive though (as in $200 or less).
