GIGABYTE produces several models with the P45 chipset. For this particular
review, we will be taking a look at the GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R (DDR2)
version. This is one of GIGABYTE's mainstream P45 variants. The board is
stuffed full of hardware and software features, including their DES (dynamic
energy saver) with 6-gears. There's the standard "Ultra Durable 2" moniker,
which according to GIGABYTE stands for excellent stability and longevity.
Does this board stack up in the current mainstream market? Read on to find
out.

Quote: "Just a short list of honorable mentions brings up DES (dynamic
energy saver), with 6-gears for energy conservation. Also worth mentioning
is the "Ultra Durable 2" branding that makes use of quality components such
as 100% Japanese made solid capacitors, Low RDS(on) MOSFETs, Ferrite Core
Chokes, and a Hardware IC's for tight voltage control. Lest we forget the
multi-functional 2 port Gigabit LAN, and their new hardware based TPM
security feature."
