The sub-$200 P67’s are here, ASUS vs Gigabyte
AnandTech has found two SandyBridge boards for under $200, the ASUS P8P67 Pro and the Gigabyte P67A-UD4. The ASUS board sports an implementation of UEFI while the Gigabyte uses a modified BIOS to handle large capacity drives. The ASUS board also packs on overclocking features and a USB 3.0 bracket, making the Gigabyte board seem lacking in features. The real competition comes from a previous review of an ASRock board that costs almost $50 less. Check out the review to see who came out on top.
