Gigabyte GA-8IHXP
The newest addition to Gigabyte's Pentium 4 family packs features with performance while keeping stability their number one priority.
Introduction
Gigabyte Technology is all about performance, stability, and quality as people have discovered using their hardware. Gigabyte Technology has been in business since 1986 and since then has taken a leading role in motherboard sales all around the world. They are based in Taiwan with facilities in Japan, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Australia, and even the good ol' US. Their global sales extend to Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America for the largest part of their market. They don’t just make motherboards, either. Their product line consists of motherboards, graphics cards, desktops, PC peripherals, IA, server, storage, and networking products. As you can see, they are quite diverse with expertise in many fields with a long history of top end products for business and individuals. But enough about the company, let's get to their motherboards.
I couldn’t possibly go over each P4 motherboard out from Gigabyte because there have been a total of 49 motherboard models released since the introduction of the Pentium 4 from them! They have released motherboards based on Intel and SiS P4 chipsets. I suggest you check out their listing of Pentium 4 capable motherboards here. The one we are looking at today is their brand new GA-8IHXP.
The Gigabyte 8IHXP is based on Intel’s i850E chipset coupled with Intel’s ICH4 and loaded with more features then you can shake a stick at, supporting the 533MHz FSB Pentium 4 and up to 1066MHz RAMBUS. Its brother, the 8IEXP based on the i845E and ICH4, has received positive reviews for great stability and performance loaded with features.
