Gigabyte EP45-DS3P (P45) DDR2 Motherboard
Synthetic CPU & Memory Results
Published: 12th August 2008 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £80.00 |
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
Everest is in many ways similar to Sisoft Sandra. Focusing mainly on software and hardware information reporting, Everest also comes with a benchmark utility suitable for testing the read, write and latency performance of the memory subsystem. Each of these benchmarks were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average calculated from the remaining 3.
Results Conclusions
A mixed bag of results with the EP45-DS3P, scoring lower than the the other boards in the CPU benchmarks but hitting the middle ground in the memory tests. As all the boards are based on the P45 chipset it is unsurprising that the results are very similar yet all of the boards on test are considerably more expensive than the Gigabyte which should be taken into account.

Hmmm - looks like a fine review
Slightly raindowish. But pretty nice for the price tbh.
See now that's an enthusiast mmotherboard. Cheap and clocks nice with decent performance. Like it 
What BIOS was it flashed too? I have the same motherboard and with an E8500 at 4085MHz but I'm have some troubles. I keep getting BSOD and I looked up the BBCode and they are all memory related. I did some research and apparently the motherboard is picky with the RAM it is used with.
I flashed from the default BIOS to F7 and still getting the same problems
