*Quote:* Welcome to the world of motherboards! This is a place where cheap alternatives often beat the most expensive flagships. Creating a competitively priced but well performing product is the goal. With that in mind, heres Gigabytes new AMD AM3+ socket motherboard, the GA-990FXA-UD7, based on the AMD 990FX chipset. The AM3+ socket is backwards compatible but is introduced rather early this year to be the base platform for the upcoming Zambezi CPUs, based on the Bulldozer architecture. Today we will be looking at the UD7 as a sneak-peak of the greatness this motherboard holds for the Zambezi CPUs, as to date AMD has yet to release these puppies in the wild.
