Intel DG43NB Socket 775 Motherboard

Comment:
Intel DG43NB motherboard was pretty much plug-and-play. Works good with Windows XP, first time out of the gate. The only downside was the graphics. If you plan to play videos, it would be a good idea to invest in a good graphics card.

I bought this and coupled it with an E5200 Pentium duel core and 4 gig OCZ mem. It has worked wonderfuly without any flaws. It was easy to sert up and get working I thought also.

Used this board to build a multimedia machine. The built in video and sound was crisp and clean, and allowed me to put in a HD BR drive without additional video cards. Game performance is not good - but for Blu-Ray it's perfect. Hooked it up to my 40

Comment:
the price for the product and intel name are a great combo. this is on my list to buy again.

If you are buying this mobo to install in an old case be sure to save the old screws! This mobo does not include any mounting hardware.

I purchased this board as part of a bundle with the Intel Core 2 Due E8400 processor. Assembling the computer was very straghtforward and the system booted up just fine afterwards. The only complaint I would have about this board is there are only two memory slots. If you choose to expand memory capacity in the future (and are already using the two slots), you need to replace them rather than just adding more memory. I opted also for an NVIDIA video card. it installed without any problems.

This motherboard has worked flawlessly for me. I've got a ton of USB devices connected to it and everything works as promised. I would buy again!

I have used many brands and types of MB products in my years of working with computers, but this one far surpasses any for its standards of quality,features, and performance. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Great Board, works well. Replacing Nvidia boards I got from in a kit that were flaky and tech support was not help.

I purchased this board when the Asus one i wanted wasnt availible at the store. I needed a board with 2 video outputs since i couldnt afford a video card after all the other stuff i needed. The Bios POST takes about 40 seconds to 1 minute and you cant disable the ''Intel'' splash. After building my system no matter what I did it would not stay ''off'' on standby or hybernate. It would turn right back on as if i had hit ''reset''. The thing that put me over the edge was that it continusly lost the boot order for the devices and would go to an old hard drive to boot from (i had to do a data transfer from my old drive before i reformated it, when i built the new system i bought a new hard drive to install the OS on for a clean install). After about 48 hours of this I contacted Intel, they said the post time was normal and that it was probably a hardware issue with the boot order and hybernate/stand-by. I ordered the Asus board and returned this one.

The product works perfectly fine, and I have no problem at all. In fact, I installed Ubuntu linux instead of MS windows, it performs very well. I'm not sure why some of people have who bought the product were having problems.

This motherboard is great, I've ordered so many great intel boards that I just assumed this one would have an RAID controller on it...it does not. If that's not a concern then it's a great board.

Great deal & nice board. Just what I wanted. Only minus was sata connection broke & returned promptly excellent service. Intel should put a better instructions in the box to help programming comp. Intel did a good job answering my questions &m put me on the right track

Motherboards ide connection would not work, requested a new board,received next day and everything is perfect. Very good board

Comment:
Motherboard and CPU worked very well, however the motherboard arrived without any hardware and the I/O face plate was missing.

Comment:
Some motherboards come with a 40mm fan and mounting bracket but this one does not. I had to search all over the internet for a: Intel MCH Heat Sink Fan Mounting Bracket and purchase that and a fan separately just to keep the motherboard's MCH cool. The I/O Hub (Memory Controller Hub) gets really hot quickly without a fan. Overall it is a great board but should come with a bracket and fan like other Intel boards do.

Comment:
Everything worked fine. Easy setup. Performance is great!

Comment:
I'm satisfied with this board, have had no problems.

Comment:
good features, fsb and usb outlets were placed well and connecting the pins to the mobo were well documented

I was nervous of this board due to some of the comments below. I took a chance. It paid off. I love the board. I'm using it with a Q9400 and Vista 64. It reads all 4gb of memory and my IDE works just fine. I use it for ACVHD HD video editing and it kicks butt. I updated the BIOS to 77 and had a fan issue. Had to downgrade back to 60 to fix it. No gaming experience.
