Bjorn3D has posted a review on the Gigabyte GA-8I955X Royal Motherboard



Rare jewels (diamond), precious metals (platinum), positions of distinction (royal)... all of these are common themes used by manufacturers to distinguish its flagship products from the rest of the pack. For Gigabyte, the theme is royalty, and the board to most recently grace our labs is the GA-8I955X Royal.

As the name suggests, this is an Intel 955X-based board. What makes it "Royal?" Well, for starters, it features support for 888MHz DDR2, Gigabyte's patented Universal-Plus Dual Power System, dual gigabit LAN and IEEE 1394b. Kudos to Gigabyte for supporting IEEE 1394b and not just 1394a and for including support for three ports.
