Gigabyte A75 Motherboard Poses for the Camera
There have already been sightings of various motherboards this week, some of which were developed by Gigabyte, but it looks like yet another one, of the socket FM1 variety, has stood to attention.
As end-users know, the Computex 2011 trade show is coming in fast, so it stands to reason that previews and leaks would reach the web.
Gigabyte appears to be preparing quite the sizable collection of PC components, even outright launching some, like the 990FX AMD Bulldozer Motherboards.
Now, it is revealed that the outfit has another couple of boards in store, based on the AMD socket FM1 chipset.
Dubbed GA-A75-UD4H and GA-A75M-UD2H, they resemble each other a fair deal as far as feature set goes, although the layout differs.
Both have four memory slots and two PCI express x16 slots, plus heatsinks on the more important and heat-generating parts.
The GA-A75-UD4H has one SATA 6.0 Gbps port, plus an I/O panel with four USB 3.0 connectors, a pair of USB 2.0 ports and an eSATA port.
What's more, the same rear panel boasts D-Sub, DVI and HDMI outputs, plus a DisplayPort, 7.1 channel audio with optical S/PDIF, FireWire and, of course, Gigabit Ethernet.
The GA-A75M-UD2H has five SATA 6.0 Gbps ports and an I/O panel with two USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.0 connectors, an eSATA port, FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel audio with optical S/PDIF and three video connectors (DVI, D-Sub and HDMI).
What's more, there are two USB pin headers on the mainboard proper, for two USB 3.0 and four USB extra connections, respectively.
The folks over at VR-Zone are the ones that managed to get a hold of the photos of both models, but it is unclear if the company will launch both or just one (and, if the latter, which will be selected). Either way, Computex 2011 is bound to provide some answers.
