OC Workbench has posted a review on the Gigabyte 8KNXP Ultra i875 Canterwood



Today, we review the Gigabyte 8KNXP, a new product based on the latest Intel i875 Canterwood chipset. The 8KNXP Ultra is the higher end series of the 8KNXP. 8KNXP Ultra is probably the first board or the only one to date to equipped with a Ultra Wide SCSI 320. Not only does it bring SCSI on board, it comes with ICH5R which supports 2 SATA devices to operate in RAID 0. It is also equipped with a ITe GigaRAID controller for IDE RAID. Another major difference from the other board manufacturers is that it split one of the channels into 2 DIMMs making it the first board to have 6 DIMMs. This does not mean it can support 6GB, rather it can support more RAM combinations according to Gigabyte. 8KNXP comes with other features like Gigabit Ethernet, ALC655 sound chipset for auto sense of connectors etc.
