Intel DG33BU - Bearlake for the mATX Review

BCC Hardware posted up a review of the latest Intel motherboard to hit the shelves. It's the DG33BU and it's a mATX board based on the G33 Express chipset. This chipset features Intel's GMA3100 - a fully DX9.0c capable graphics solution. While these graphics aren't up to much gaming, they do offer full Vista Aero support. It's a slick little board for a basic PC, and the addition of a PCIe 16x slot provides more life to this board. Take a look and see what it's all about.

The DG33BU really holds its own against the previous generation of motherboards and chipsets from Intel. The DG33BU is based on a brand-new chipset, and like many Intel chipsets - it performs admirably. Intel claims full Vista support and even with the beta version of this board, we had no issues with Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Our test system ran smoothly and had 100% stability for the weeks that we had it on the bench.
