The GAP-DS3 is one of those rare motherboards that will not only be sought after by enthusiasts all over, but suited equally well for the mainstream market segment.

Performance is what counts, and the GAG-DS3 was slightly ahead of other based boards we've tested. Last month, we reviewed and raved about Gigabyte's mainstream Broadwater motherboard, the excellent GAP-DS3 for its down to earth price, sound engineering and incredible overclocking potential.

Today, we bring you a special double preview not only of the GMA X, but one of the first G motherboards to reach our labs. The northbridge heatsink became incredibly hot as there were now no fans or heat pipes to keep it cool. Now as we all know, Intel's Broadwater lineup also includes a brand new onboard graphics chipset, the G The Intel chipset is best known in its P incarnation.

Our Verdict This is a gigabytd leader and provides a dependable performance. Like most other integrated video cards, we don't recommend the GMA X for serious gaming, but in a break from what we are used to seeing with Intel's graphics chips, 3D performance in Direct 3D is bordering on acceptable.

In real world usage, you're unlikely to notice such a giyabyte, but it's a solid performer. The difference of course is in the chipset.

The sharp heatsink near the processor socket is gone - a good move as the old design could have easily led to cut fingers, while fitting a CPU cooling fan.

965g-fs3 Gigabyte says this increases the lifespan of the board's capacitors - a once-common point of failure - by six times.

You can't fail to notice the sticker on the box advertising the all-solid capacitor design.

The wealth of BIOS options, including the ability to adjust FSB frequency in 1MHz increments, mean that if you fancy overclocking your processor, this motherboard shouldn't get in your way.
