Tweakers AU has a review of an i845E based Gigabyte board.
Feature wise, the Gigabyte GA-8IEXP is comparable with the ASUS P4B533-E we recently reviewed, although unfortunately the ASUS board outperformed the GA-8IEXP in most tests. However, the margins were only small which indicates that the Gigabyte board is still in fact a high performance board, that happens to be packed to the rim with support for the latest technologies such as USB 2.0, IEEE 1394, ATA133 RAID, CNR and MS/SD. Running the CPU at 166MHz (2.4@2.99GHz) was a piece of cake, and the memory didn't have any troubled keeping up at 'unofficial' DDR333 specs. At this point in time I don't have any pricing information on the GA-8IEXP, but I can assure you that value for money has always been a priority of Gigabyte.
