PC Stats has posted a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro2-W Motherboard review



If you're a frequent reader of PCStats you probably noticed that we reviewed the original Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro 2 a while back. This time around Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro2-W has an added USB 802.11b wireless adapter bundled into the onboard package, hence the "W" moniker in the name. Perhaps one of the most important compelling features is that the Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro2-W is already Prescott ready. Many original i865PE/i875P motherboards on the market are not set up to work with the increased power demands of Prescott.... or they may be, you really don't know for certain. That mystery doesn't surround the rather well equipped GA-8IPE1000 Pro2-W motherboard. The GA-8IPE1000 Pro2-W supports all current Socket 478 Pentium 4 processors (400MHz, 533MHz and 800MHZ FSB) and with its four DIMM slots, up to 4GB of PC3200 DDR RAM.
