3-Way Motherboard Shootout

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hard-look-at-hardware dept.

Steve writes "Hexus.net has put three high-end i955X-based motherboards through their paces, to see which is the best LGA775 platform motherboard. Intel's own offering falls a little short, but Gigabyte and ABIT both make compelling boards, with ABIT taking the top-spot by a small margin."

    The test ended rather abruptly when it was found the motherboards were not equipped with guns as ordered.


    Move along. Nothing to see here folks.

      That's possibly the funniest thing I've seen all day. I take my hat off to you. You are clearly the most humorous person ever to have graced mankind with his presence.
      Surely your humour will go down in the annals of time as the premier example of wit in this 21st century. I pray that I will never cease this interminate guffawing and the rest of my days will be brightened by this incredible mirth.
      Yes, indeed I LOL and, although I have no mirror to check, I can only assume an accurate 'emoticon' representation of the current appearance of my face would, in actual fact, be XD.
      This has been the greatest day of my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

      However, a lascivious motherboard menage a trois ensued when an enterprising hacker introduced the "Hot Silicon" mod. Senator Clinton is investigating.

    it would have been even more embarrassing if the article was called "Threesome Motherboard shootout."

Intel's own offering fell after taking a shot to the head, but Gigabyte and ABIT both survived for hours, with ABIT taking out Gigabyte by dropping his gun and strangling him to death. Police are still investigating the cause of the shootout and Hexus' motive in provoking it."

  6. That Hexus site... by callipygian-showsyst · · Score: 3, Funny

    That Hexus site is one of the most anoying I've ever seen. Every other word is highlighted with a sponsored link that's often not related at all to the subject at hand. It seems to me that the whole point of that site is to have mildly-useful content simply as click fodder.

  7. Still the old standards... by Cyno01 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Abit, gigabyte and intel? Sorry, theres a new highend standard, especially for overclockers. If you havn't heard of DFI, they have some kickass boards, loads of features, and rock solid. I guess they have a dozen s775 mobos, and im sure they'll have i955 chipset boards soon.

    Now that's just not true. I know for a fact that Windows users are informed when their system "flips a bit now and then." The famed BSOD makes an appearance.
