GIGABYTE GA-G33M-S2H

INTRODUCTION

Integrated. Among enthusiasts this has become a four letter word never to be uttered in their presence. It has come to mean lacking, underpowered and weak. But there is another side to integrated. Efficient, flexible, and simple. If you are looking to put together a home theatre PC (HTPC) then finding the right motherboard with integrated components is crucial. You don't need blazing fast graphics or the highest signal to noise ratio, that's what discrete cards are for. What you need is small, quiet and cool. That's exactly what GIGABYTE offers with their new G33 series motherboard. As if including audio and video weren't enough this board actually has an HDMI port on it. You want to talk about integrated, how about both your audio and video on one cable! Now that's what I call efficient.
