Back to Blogging...Good bye old board, hello Gigabyte!

Hi guys... updates kinda late because final exams was just to important to be ignored, I have to stop playing for awhile... February was one of the great months in my gaming life, a lot happened. I'm just trying to find the right files of the print screen shots, you see my motherboard was busted. My ECS P4-900 M2 cannot take the heat anymore, sob sob...but it died valiantly, together we have taken down lots of monsters, gained als and mostly kicked somebody's ass on PVP matches...


Luckily my Pentium4 631 3.0Ghz still lives together with my Sparkle 8600GT 256MB video card. My setup is kinda old, but it can play Oblivion Elder Scrolls 4 on the the highest detail on 1280x1024 resolution.
The motherboard I'm using right now is from Gigabyte, GA-EG31MF-S2, it has this remarkable specs: Intel^® G33 + ICH9R Chipset

1. Supports Intel^® Core™ 2 multi-core and 45nm processors
2. Dual Channel DDR2 800 for outstanding system performance
3. Integrated Intel^® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 (Intel GMA 3100)
4. Integrated SATA 3Gb/s with RAID function
5. Features high speed Gigabit Ethernet and IEEE1394
6. Integrated ALC889A 8-Channel High Definition audio
7. Ultra durable2 motherboard with top quality highly efficient components

I maybe sounding like a techie, but the manual is there and I copied it all! hehehe





Just looking at the pics you can see that this is much more superior than my old board. More expensive though, the ECS cost me Php2,200 at that time, the Gigabyte cost me Php 3,200.
Which in anyway a good buy.... I can put 4GB DDR2 800 to boost my alt-tab powers... the PCI Express 16X can put Cabal on the highest detail without the dreaded lag.

Myboyfriend was jealous of my new setup hehehe, but he was the one who assembled my new P.C.
