Giga-Byte Motherboard
Steven J. Marty
I am seriously considering upgrading my current workstation to a new
Pentium motherboard. I am looking at the Giga-Byte GA-586HX board.
Does anyone have any opinions and/or experience with this board?
Thanks for any replies!

I am using Gigabyte 586DX (dual with 2940UW) and think
this is one of the best choices. I have tested many boards from asus,
gigabyte, soyo, ... but the 586dx is first very fast and secound very
cheap if comparing a single cpu-board with extra 2940UW against
both in one. And then you could add a secound cpu just to make your
system about 2 times faster :-)

I just ordered a gigabyte board, cpu, etc. from Atipa - it works great,
and they have competitive prices, and EXCELLENT service.

I have one of those running at home with a single Cyrix 166+ and it
runs well. The problem is the lame ATX form factor board with
AT power supply requirements....very half assed design.
Anyone looking at one of these better be ready to get a weird Case/Power
Supply combo.
Other then that nightmare its running Linux like a champ...

Are you sure this is the HX and not the UX that you are referring to?
From what Atipa's web site says, the UX is ATX but the HX is Baby-AT
form factor.

Hello!
The latest release of the 586DX is a pure ATX design. I own a "mixed"
layout and use an AT/ATX "dual-case".
