 "Gigabyte Launches Super4 Line of Motherboards")
Gigabyte has launched a new series of boards called the Super4 series based on Intel’s H61 chipset. The new chipset from Intel is designed for the new Sandy Bridge line of processors which were released earlier this year. Gigabyte states that their new line of motherboards designed for mainstream desktop use are designed with high-quality components and features found on high-end boards, keeping in mind performance, as well as reliability over an extended period of time.
More features and reliability on mainstream boards
All of the Super4 boards will have Gigabyte’s DualBIOS along with EFI support for drives above 3TB in size. Gigabyte is claiming good quality 7.1 channel audio on all of these boards, as well. The boards being launched under the Super4 line are GA-P61-USB3-B3, GA-H61M-USB3-B3, GA-P61-DS3-B3, GA-H61M-D2-B3, GA-HA65M-D2H-B3 and GA-H61M-S2V-B3. Gigabyte is also claiming better protection for USB ports so data isn’t corrupted and it also has the ability to charge USB devices quicker than conventional USB ports. Devices can be charged even with the system turned off. All of the capacitors used on the Super4 line of boards use high-quality capacitors that have a 50,000 hour lifespan.

He's also a fan of all things obscure, case in point, Live for Speed (sic). Never heard of it? We rest our case. In his spare time he tries to teach our new joinees the tricks of the trade even though the blood sweat and tears, but give him a camera and all things forgotten.
