Gigabyte X48 DS4

[Biglunn]

Is this motherboard any good? I notice that its considerably cheaper than other X48 motherboards, yet I cant really find many reviews out there. Why is it so much cheaper than the others, and what does it lack?

Im selling my mobo, getting another HD 4850 and going crossfire.

Can't speak for the X48-DS4, but I have the X38-DS4. The X48 is just a higher speed-binned version. The board is apparently identical to Gigabyte's pricier options but with a more basic cooling solution.

Good board, not spectacular but certainly worth the money. Newegg has a lot of positive reviews (should be OK posting this as they don't sell to the UK?)

DS4 has typically been the sweet-spot in Gigabyte's line-up. I can't see it being a bad board, so why not?
