Gigabyte G41M-ES2L Motherboard & Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 Processor Bundle

Comment:
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L MotherboardPros - Price, and that it works, sort of. Also, Tiger's delivery was fine. Cons - 1. Strangely it refuses to boot when connected to my nice keyboard that I usually use, but works with a cheap crummy one. 2. Layout is poor, with the floppy connector as far as possible from my floppy, meaning I had to find a longer cable. Connector for system fan is also poorly placed, and wires go through slot area. 3. Both motherboards I bought have the same video issues with some programs, even after installing the latest drivers. I guess I need a cheap video card now to replace the on board video, even though I don't need more speed. 4. I have three older drives devices and can only connect two, so now I need to buy a new power supply and then upgrade the disk drive.

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 CPU BX80571E5300The motherboard died on my 2004 emachines computer. I figured the cheapest way to be back up and computing again was to replace the parts, after purchaing this processor, new mother board, RAM, and a new HD for good measure I only spent $240 and I'm also updated from the old 1.3Ghtz athalon processor. I knew this one would be faster but I had no idea. A HD to HD copy and paste that took over 8 hours before now took only 15 minutes!!!! There are many other things I've noticed about how much faster this processor is. Now when they finally come out with faster USB than 2.0 then I'll be in business. This product was right for me.

Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 CPU BX80571E5300My first time putting a system together and I could not have chosen a better set of items to install (I've replaced single items many times, but never a mobo or CPU). I bought a new XFX mobo and OCZ memory to go along with this PCU and the installation was quick and easy minus a little issue with the hard drive actually working. My system is AWESOME! I purchased the combination of CPU, mobo and RAM for very specific reasons and my expectations were met and exceeded!

Comment:
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L MotherboardGigabyte just keeps impressing me with some of their boards lately. I liked Asus boards in the past, but got tired of them being so buggy. This is an entry level board and does exactly what it is supposed to. Gigabyte worth buying.

Comment:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 CPU BX80571E5300These Pentiums are some sweet processors for the money. For only being dual core they sure perform well. Its Intel say no more.

Comment:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 CPU BX80571E5300Excellent for its range. Fast, runs cool. It was nice to see that it came with the CPU fan and heatsink. The thermal paste wasn't included, but if you looked closely at the heatsink, you'll find that a layer comes pre-laid, just be careful pulling it from the package that you don't damage that layer of paste.

Comment:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 CPU BX80571E5300Mounted on P5N-D mobo without issues. Even though CPU came with a fan, I installed an 8W553 CPU cooler instead. Running W7 Pro 64-bit. Playing Left 4 Dead 2 without an issue. Everything maxed out! Great combo deal for the buck!

Comment:
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L MotherboardI got this mobo in a barebones kit. I is a great board except only one PCI express slot. I love that it has support for Quad-Core CPU (which I will eventually replace my Dual-Core). I trust the Gigabyte brand they have never done me wrong.

Comment:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 CPU BX80571E5300Easy to install. Thermal paste is pre-applied in the fan assembly. Running on an ASUS P5G41 mobo. Windows 7 Enterprise.

Comment:
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L MotherboardI've had this board for about a month now. So far it works perfectly. I have on it a Pentium D 3.2Ghz, 4GB DDR2 800MHz. It's been a great upgrade.

Comment:
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5300 CPU BX80571E5300 Very fast processor, and what a great price for the bundle. Extremely easy to install. You cannot go wrong with this system.

Comment:
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L MotherboardVery nice motherboard for the price. On-board video is more than adequate for the average user. Super easy to install, and I was up and running in no time. If you are using Windows XP, and you don't have Service Pack 2 (SP2) or better, the system WILL NOT boot to the hard drive! I found out the hard way.

Comment:
Gigabyte G41M-ES2L Motherboard I used an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93Ghz 3M 1066Mhz 775 CPU with this board, has been a very fast and stable system.

Comment:
