Competition has always benefitted the end user because it has the effect of driving down prices, and typically increasing the number of features that come standard. With the upsurge in the tech sector these last few months, competition has reached a fevered pitch, and the goal is your hard earned spending money. As the movers and shakers shell out product after product, Gigabyte, who are one of the larger manufacturers in the industry, have been quietly making waves amongst the hardware community. One such example is the P4 Titan 8PENXP which is based on the mainstream i865PE Springdale chipset. The i865PE chipset has shown that it's a very powerful solution, rival to Intel's i875P in terms of performance! With that in mind, and the relatively low price, it's no wonder manufacturers have multiple boards based on the highly successful i865PE chipset. But with so much competition, how does Gigabyte separate itself from the rest? Well, for starters the Gigabyte 8PENXP motherboard is possibly one of the most equipped i865PE motherboards on the market. Standard features of the board consist of Serial ATA/Serial ATA RAID, Ultra 133 IDE RAID, IEEE 1394, 5.1 audio, Intel CSA enabled Gigabit LAN, dual BIOS's and Gigabyte's special DPS2 (Dual Power System).
