PC Stats put up a Gigabyte GA-8I945GZME-RH 945GZ Express Motherboard Review



On the short list of the GA-8I945GZME-RH's hardware goodies we find an integrated Marvel 8001 Gigabit network card, Intel Azalia High Definition 7.1-channel audio codec (the necessary surround sound cable to take advantage of all 7.1 channels is an optional extra however), four USB2.0 jacks, four 3GB/s SATA connections and of course the onboard Analog Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA950) videocard at the rear I/O. Compact microATX boards don't traditionally come with a lot of peripheral expansion slots, but the Gigabyte GA-8I945GZME-RH is pretty good on this front. On it we find a triplet of 32-bit PCI slots and a physical PCI Express x16 slot that accomodates a stand alone videocard.
