Hi all,

We have just published a review of *Gigabyte's GA-EP45-DQ6* motherboard
- if you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*/"We do think Gigabyte has made a motherboard with a lot of potential
here -- the board currently works very well under default conditions. It
has tons of features---and some are genuinely great little
nuggets---far, far better software and very good performance for DDR2
but even though it has lots of BIOS options we are unable to use with
the board in its current state. Strip out the four Gigabit Ethernet
sockets and strap on 802.11n Wi-Fi instead would give it a similar high
end appeal but with more variety for home users. The hardware RAID
implementation also needs more thought put into it.

What is has done for us is lay the foundations for what could be some
awesome value friendly EP45-DS3R or the DS5 that we had a first look at
not too long ago. However, we'll give it a few months to see what
Gigabyte comes out with on the BIOS side before we really see if they
can shine."
