Gigabyte GA-8I915P-D Pro

Part of Gigabyte's PX (Performance Extreme) range, the GA-8I915P-D Pro is the most basic of the three 915 boards featured here, but basic is a relative term when you take into account the features the new chipsets provide as standard.

What you do get is integrated Gigabit Ethernet, support for up to eight USB 2.0 ports, a 16X PCI Express (PCX) graphics slot, two 1X PCX slots and integrated 7.1 audio.

As with most Gigabyte boards, there's plenty of room around all the components.

The GA-8I915P-D Pro is the single channel memory option sibling of the GA-8GPNXP Duo. Instead of the dual DDR1/2 support you get with the Duo, the GA-8I915P-D Pro supports up to 4GB of just DDR2 memory in dual-channel configuration.

The board has four SATA ports but it uses the basic ICH6 Southbridge so these can't be configured into a RAID array.

Bundled in the box are two SATA data cables, SATA power cable, Ultra ATA/100 and floppy cables and two expansion plates.
