Conclusion:
I built a new m-ATX gaming rig with this motherboard
and I have since been running this rig for two and a half months 24/7. I only
reboot for windows updates or program installations and this motherboard has
remained absolutely rock solid throughout testing and just plain running 24/7
for this long.
I have really grown to like the Foxconn G33M-S a lot. It's a good
looking board with an excellent feature set and has proven to be extremely
reliable. The integrated Intel chipset will more than satisfy your basic
graphics needs like surfing the web, checking email, and even some light gaming.
However if you're looking for a bit more graphics power you can add any PCI-e
graphics card and really unleash this m-ATX powerhouse. Do like I did and add an
8800 series graphics card, a couple gig of memory and a decent Core 2 Duo CPU
and you'll have a stable and powerful small form factor system that packs a
punch.
I didn't go overboard testing this motherboard because it's not
geared so much for the overclocking crowd or enthusiasts. It is what it is and
that's a great m-ATX board for around $100. Sure it's a bit more expensive than
some of the competitors on the market, but for the money you get Intel chipset
quality and stability. If you're looking to shrink that monster full ATX system
of yours then I can strongly suggest the
Foxconn G33M-S
motherboard as a base for your new rig.
I would however like to note that this board would not be the
best choice for a home theatre system because of the lack of DVI, HDCP or
digital audio outputs. It's best suited for a basic system using the integrated
graphics or adding a graphics card and making it a simple gaming rig.
Big thanks (and congrats) to
Foxconn for producing a
nice m-ATX package that is sure to satisfy a large percentage of the market.
