looks a bit basic tbh probably going to be budget/mid range boards cant see them being monster overclockers with the cooling it has on the nb/sb

I agree - for some reason it reminds me of some of gigabytes old P4 prescott core mobos. my dad still runs one downstairs & his mobo looks exactly the same

The design sucks, for a start the 2 PCI slots at the bottom should have been moved one slot further down to make both the PCI slots useable when running 2 graphics card.

Looks a bit plain.

The board layout isnt that bad, not perfect, but not terrible either. As for it looking "basic", who cares? Less there is on it less chance of it going wrong. All the board needs is a few fan headers near the NB and SB to add some active cooling, and some OC options in its BIOS and it could turn into quite a surprise.

Guys, now I'm oficially confused. Look what I found here: www.palit.biz/en/products/mb_intel_P35A.html

It's Palit who enters the motherboard market, not Gainward....but look at the logo on the OCW picture?

What do you think?

Now if they can pop an 8800 GTS OC bios on there, we will be in business <G>
