Customer Review: Excellent Budget Motherboard!
Summary: 5 Stars
This motherboard is fantastic if you will be putting together a budget computer. Are there cheaper one's out there? Of course there are. But I took the chance to go with Gigabyte since I have heard a lot of good stuff about them so I decided to go with this one. I'm pairing this with an Intel E5500 on a Windows 7 Professional system and everything so far has been rock solid. The on-board VGA saves me money as well since I don't have to purchase and install a third-party video card. The motherboard features Gigabyte's patented dual-BIOS. You have the main BIOS and you have a backup BIOS in case something happens to the main one. I hope I never have to use this feature but it's good to know about this nonetheless.
One error I made due to incomplete research is that I thought this motherboard model supported the ability for you to charge your iPhone even when the computer is off. It turns out that feature requires a dedicated On/Off USB header and that is available only on certain models. However, I did learn that I could flash the BIOS to the newest version and install their simple On/Off driver from their website to enable that feature. While I'm still not able to charge my iPhone when the computer is off, I am able to maintain a charge to my iPhone if I simply connect it to the computer while it is turned on first. If I then turn off or hibernate my computer, the charge is still there. The only drawback is that I have to have turned on the computer first. However, this error is due to me not researching enough and has nothing to do with the motherboard itself.
I will definitely be purchasing from Gigabyte again.
