GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3LR LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Plugged it in and it went.

x16 slot is in the third position so larger video cards can clear drive mounting structures in older and smaller cases (but still - measure before you buy - it cut it within millimeters on my old model Antec Sonata.

Cons: Idiotic defaults for some BIOS settings - SATA defaults to legacy IDE emulation mode, which doesn't support NCQ or anything decent and useful about SATA. Remember to flip this setting before installing your OS.

Overall Review: None

Pros: Supports 45nm processors

Cons: Check the length of cards you want to use with this board before buying. It's not obvious from the pictures, but the top two PCIe slots are useless for most cards.

Overall Review: I bought this board to put in place of a P35-DS4 board that I'm having problems with. Basically, that board have resume from sleep issues (including with use of the newest F13 BIOS update). Also, that board has clearance problems with the NB/SB heatsinks and the top PCIe slot. The heatsink is too wide and hits the PCIe board, making that slot useless!
So, in comes EP45-UD3LR as a replacement. Well, the top TWO PCIe sots are useless. I wanted to put several Hauppauge 2250 tuner cards in my HTPC build, but unfortunately those cards are too long and interfere with the MEMORY installed in the machine! This board is shorter than the DS4, and the memory slots overlap the PCIe slots! If I use the PCIe slot on the opposite side of the video card, the tner card completely blocks the air intake to my HD4650 video card (same with my GeForce 8500GT card/cooler). This leaves ONE useable PCIe slot, which is TWO short of what I need!
No more GB for me!
