Biostar TPower X58A v5.0 Motherboard Review
by admin on Apr.05, 2009, under Hardware
There are two versions of Biostar X58, there is the upscale TPower x58 cost of £ 215 – £ 218 or £ 15, you can, and select the TPower X58A, verification that we have. The difference in the specifications between the two models is quite low because most functions are two motherboards. Both have long three connectors PCI Express, both Crossfire and SLI even if things are not as simple as they appear. Of course, on Dual x16 PCIe 2.0 slots, but the third site supports only traces of four PCI-Express 2.0, we do not really talk Graph Triple Slots.
Most functions are chips X58/ICH10R there are six memory slots, DDR3 memory at 1866MHz mode Triple Channel ports and six SATA II with Intel RAID. You will recall that x58 does not support PATA optical drives, so that all motherboard manufacturers in the sun and is a Biostar has plumped for those JMB363 supports ATA133 port and two eSATA ports to the I / O Panel. It is a wise choice, as you probably no more than six SATA ports. However, two eSATA ports to I / O Panel seems a little excessive.
