This category mainly focused on features and performance as the main criterion for comparison, and then followed by the price. We saw different boards, some of them were rich in features like the Asus P5K Premium or the Gigabyte MA 790 FX DQ6 and some of them were very good in terms of performance like the XFX 780-1 SLI that did very well but was not able to score on a cumulative scale and that is why these were not included in the list for the top ones.

The motherboards in this category offered 4 slots for DIMM and 6 ports for SATA with Raid, Hi-Definition multi-channel audio, dual PCI, and gigabit LAN for expantion and varied uses, multi PCI express slots for SLI and other configurations.

Well, one cannot ask for more, still there were some motherboards that had on offer brilliant displays, wireless con¬trollers, onboard LED to rev up the looks too that came as an extra with some of the motherboards. In this category most of the boards had 45 nm processor support, which means it's one ofthe most future ready board while the overclocking feature that is the need for the gamer was preset all across the line. So overall each one had something good or bad, but the one that performed well, gave good features, and was good value for money became the top choices.
