Gigabyte addresses overclocking needs with a full array of settings and values to match all but the most extreme configurations.
Gigabyte’s “Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker” menu starts off with CPU multiplier, bus frequency, boot strap, and memory ratio settings.
Scrolling down the M.I.T. menu reveals basic memory timing controls and an “Advanced Timing” sub-menu link.
The bottom of the M.I.T. menu provides critical voltage controls, but only two GTL REF registers.
Chosing “Advance Clock Control” reveals a sub-menu with skew and drive strength settings.
The “Advanced Timing Controls” sub-menu has enough settings to consume nearly two pages.
Up to eight complete BIOS configurations can be stored as user profiles, making it easy to return to a setting that works after trying one that doesn’t.
We didn’t grab a screen shot of the Security Chip menu, since it only shows “Enable” or “Disable”. The Security Chip is a DES feature with 2048-bit hardware-based encryption that can be applied to a hard drive or partition, with keys stored in the BIOS or on a USB flash drive.

Wait, i think i missed the conclusion... what was the conclusion.....or am i just silly !?
Great review any who, i have been waiting for one of these. I would say go for the P5Q Deluxe!!!!!!!!11
the old E6xx CPU is not good enough to explore the FSB of the new P45 chipset. i seen better review then this in term of hardware. there should be at least a dual core 45nm processor and a 45nm quad processor.
sigh....tom's been lazy with hardware update!
I assume it is a mistake that says the P45 platinum from MSI has an X48 chipset?
so waht about a decent conclusion something like, are these boarfds worth the extra cash over a P35 chipset variant, everything tells me they offer little incentive over the P35, thoughts anyone?
Hello?
Uhm .. 45nm!?
I agree, test with a better (new) CPU(s) 45nm Dual/Quad.
That would be really interesting. This probably means alot to someone that owns the E6xx series CPU which i doubt someone buy if they buy a P45 board.
Methinks Tom has a bit of biassed attitude favouring Asus tbh
