    Review

    I bought this card when i was creating my new system. It looked very flashy and i had heard the giga-byte name everywhere. The card has loads and loads of features to. But, those features only work for you if you can get the motherboard to work properly. I had that sucker for 2 days before i took it back, and it wasnt for lack of effort. I worked on that thing day and night for two straight days. I could not get it to recognize one of my cd roms and on of my hd's. I had lots of trouble with that dual bios thing. All in all it was terrible, but it may have been defective board.. i didnt get another to try. I switch to ASUS.

    I may be a computer hardware noob but i still give this board 1 out of 5 stars. and i wont be buying from giga-byte again.

    Sounds rough dude, not to mention it's freakin' expensive, you can even manage to find a SLI 'board on Newegg for that price, and this is only skt 754!
