GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L (rev. 1.0) Pro Reviews

phoronix‘s review Edit

While both the EP45-DS3L and EP45T-DS3R are based around Intel's P45 Chipset, these two Gigabyte motherboards are in fact very different. The EP45-DS3L represents the lite version of the EP45T-DS3R. Instead of using the ICH10R Southbridge, the EP45-DS3L uses the ICH10 and it only has one Gigabit Ethernet Controller, one PCI Express x16 slot, DDR2 system memory, and a slimmer set of features in general.

HotHardware‘s review Edit

The inexpensive EP45-DS3L P45 DDR2 platform is just plain affordable. At $100, it’s an inexpensive route to the Intel P45 chipset, and you won’t get much else beyond the basics offered by the P45/ICH10R chips. It didn't overclock well, and you can’t run CrossFire or RAID, but it handles the basics just fine. It’s quiet, has lots of I/O connectivity for its price, and it still supports a full 16 GB of memory. It’s hardly the most exciting motherboard out there, but the EP45-DS3L gets the job done and doesn’t claim to be something more than it is, and we’re just fine with that.

ExtremeTech‘s review Edit

A clear contender for a future Bang for the Buck build, this Gigabyte is easy on the wallet and speedy on the benchmarks
