Type Of Review: Mainboards |
Introduction
Firstly, we have to afford Gigabyte our sincere apologies for taking a tad too long to complete this review.
It all began with the scorching hot 1.2GHz Athlon Thunderbird that fried during one of the botched installation, and the RMA took a bit longer than expected. We also went about shopping for a stick of DDR SDRAM to be used for this evaluation. Hence, the unfortunate delay...
Ok, so much for finding excuses.
Let me begin. Not unexpected for a company whose reputation is based on reliable and quality products, Gigabyte has a great following here - in our cowboy country. Walking into any computer retail shop, you will surely see decks of Gigabyte boards stocked chest high, and a customer picking one up every other minute.
The company, which was founded in 1996, is mainly known to the world as a motherboard manufacturer but it also dabbles into products like video cards with a fair amount of success. To our delight, Gigabyte elected to send us the Gigabyte GA-7DX for review and it represents something different from the typical motherboard we commonly receive.
On the surface, it is another mainboard designed for the Socket-A Athlon and Duron processors, but using the AMD 761 northbridge, the GA-7DX has support for DDR SDRAM built on it. Just how attractive is going the way of DDR at this point? Read on to find out.
