GA 8I945P PRO DRIVER DOWNLOAD

The GA-8IP Pro motherboard can use either 20 or pin ATX power connectors and comes with a small plastic insert to block off the unused four pins as necessary. Like clockwork, Intel can be relied upon to keep churning out chipsets, as well as reasons to want to use them. The ICH-7R Southbridge chip also features a small passive heatsink and this got quite toasty during testing. A new computer user trying to install Windows XP on this motherboard would be lost at this point. Following along in the traditional Gigabyte manner, this motherboard comes with a nice pile of extras.

Gigabyte loses the user-friendliness marks they gained in the last paragraph. It's always good to see a motherboard that includes just about everything a user would need from the get-go.

Also included is a multi-language illustrated hardware installation guide which essentially explains how to build a computer from start to finish.

There's absolutely no reason not to use this, as installing it takes only a few seconds, even for a novice. By default, the Intel P Northbridge chip is passively cooled, but Gigabyte pto included a small 40mm fan that clips to the top of the heatsink.

We've seen a few other motherboard manufacturers slip up like this recently too, so we hope it does not become a trend.
