ECS G33T-M2 Motherboard (@t-break) Quote: |
The board does support some overclocking in the Frequency/Voltage section and it really surprised us when we hit 470MHz FSB which is higher than many full sized ATX boards we’ve recently looked at.

We ran a few benchmarks with the integrated GMA3100, however, as expected, they werent anything to talk about. 3D Mark 2001SE scored 8091 while PC Mark 05 scored 5133. Some of the games we tested showed missing textures etc. so we would highly recommend a dedicated VGA card if you want to game.
The integrated solution works well for 2D/Media Center capabilities and supports Aero in Vista.

Asus P5K3 Premium,Sporting 2 GB's of onboard DDR3 Memory(@LegionHardware) Quote: |
Clearly the P5K3 Premium is designed for end-users that are not really concerned with how much they spend on hardware and do not really understand the concept of value.

Right now even the new 1333MHz FSB Intel Core 2 Duo processors are not capable of utilizing all the bandwidth offered by DDR2-800 memory. Even through overclocking most Core 2 Duo processors do not reach a 400MHz FSB, so why would you need anything faster than 800MHz?
The simple fact is you don’t, as we have proven that the Core 2 Duo E6700 is just as fast at 3.70GHz using DDR2-800 memory as it is when using DDR3-1333 memory for example.
This means that the P5K3 Premium would have been just as lethal with 2GB of DDR2-800 memory built in and it would have been a great deal cheaper.
