Some time ago we described about the advantages of motherboard gigabyte revision 3.3 on base of chipset Intel p965. Motherboard of this revision not only guaranteed stable operation with Intel processors which support 1333 MHz system bus, but also made possible in this case to exploit memory in the regime DDR 2-833, close to the standard regime DDR 2-800. first of all, Motherboard revisions 1.x and 2.x can work with 1333 MHz system bus after BIOS update . Secondly, old motherboards also can support the memory frequency ratio 2.5x, which guarantees work in regime DDR 2-833 with the frequency of system bus 1333 MHz. SO we obtained, that the announcement of motherboard revision 3.3 – is a marketing trick, intended to draw attention of buyers to this new product , whom expect to begin in the third quarter operation with processors core 2 Duo e6xxx with 1333 MHz system bus.
However, we calculate that the differences in motherboard revisions 3.3 and the promised design optimization will have a positive effect on their overclocking ability . So the motherboard gigabyte GA -965P-Ds4 revision 3.3 on the base of chipset Intel p965 appeared in Japanese stores. In this there is nothing surprising, the deliveries of motherboards revision 3.3 had to begin at the end January.
Representatives Gigabyte promise, that the motherboard revision 3.3 will sufficiently rapidly replace their counters part from previous revisions, and new buyer will not simply have to think about the support of processors with 1333 MHz system bus.
The cost of motherboard gigabyte GA -965P-Ds4 revision 3.3 in Japan is $189. As promises Gigabyte, motherboard of this revision will not differ in price from their predecessors. Related Products :
