Gigabyte 8INXP promises 6 DUALs and it's WHOA! Excellent features set. On top of all the 6 Duals, it also comes with 6 channel audio and Intel® Kenai 32 LAN chip for Gigabit Ethernet support.

Dual Power System (DPS)
The DPS technology is an ingenious design that gives you a power circuit with a total of 6 phases.In a DPS (Dual Power System) designed motherboard, an additional 3-phase power circuit DPVRM (Dual Power Voltage Regulator Module) daughter card is added on the motherboard. This effectively provides a more durable and stable power circuit to sustain a larger electric current of up to 150A.

Dual Logical Processor
In combination with Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology which provides 2 logical processing units in today's most advanced Intel Pentium 4 processors at 3.06GHz. It will fully extend the user's computing experience as it boosts system performance by as much as 30% more than existing processors without Hyper-Threading Technology.

Dual Channel DDR
Dual channel DDR memory architecture on an Intel Pentium 4 processor-based motherboard, delivering a high memory bandwidth up to 4.27GB/s. It gives users comparable performance to RDRAM memory which is already well known for its outstanding speed.

Dual Cooling
The Dual Cooling System consists of a DPVRM active fan sink which gives out a cool, stylish neon-blue colored light when activated, and an active fan sink located on the chipset's memory controller. With these two active fan sinks, the heat produced by the memory controller and MOSFET located on the DPVRM are greatly reduced. In addition, the airflow path is designed to drain heat out from the fan sink ditches, providing extra ventilation to the surrounding heat dissipating components. With the Dual Cooling System, it further reduces an extra 5 to 10oC as compared to other motherboards without an active fan sink.

DualBIOS™
On Gigabyte motherboards with DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. If the main boot up BIOS fails due to virus infection or catastrophic failure, the back up BIOS automatically takes over on the next system start up. This innovative technology assures the motherboard's stability and reliability.

Dual RAID
With Silicon Image Serial ATA and Promise RAID controller chip, provides 2 RAID functions. Providing not only RAID 0 (Data Striping) or RAID 1 (Data Mirroring) function, but it provides two additional UDMA ATA-133/100 connectors, allowing users to connect ATAPI devices such as CD-ROM, CD/RW, DVD-ROM and DVD-RAM. This provides an extra option for high-density storage devices for various usage requirements.

nur der grüne agp-slot und die orange cpu-kühler halterung hätten nicht sein müssen.

@tomb
wo hast diese tests wg fsb gelesen? war das 2xmal der selbe proz?
so ganz vertrau i asus a nimmer. die gschicht mit vcore standardmäßig raufstellen, gleich bis zu 0,10, damit er unter last net unter die vorgegebene einstellung fällt taugt mir net wirklich. vcore schwankungen sind mir einfach zu hoch. es wird einfach im idle zustand zu viel wärme produziert.

Unfortunately, we were only able to go as high as 170MHz FSB on the Gigabyte which is quite low considering that we easily hit 185 to 190MHz on most boards. We tried overclocking with and without the DPS module but saw no difference. This was definitely a let-down as we were expecting the DPS to allow us to overclock higher.

We were able to successfully overclock our unlocked P4 CPU to 190MHz with two RAM modules and 195MHz with one module at fully aggressive timings. Anything above that caused the system to not boot into Windows, even at lesser aggressive timings with our DDR400 module
