That's the mid-priced Gigabyte G33 board, right? I'd say avoid that board for anyone who will be using a PCI-E video card. The reason is that apparently the PCI-E 16X slot is electrically a 4X. The G33 chipset's IGP does not have built-in DVI or HDMI capabilities. To add that requires a separate chip. Sometimes those are available as PCI-E cards, for instance the ASRock ConRoe-1333DVI-H board comes with one. Also I've seen them in Dell computers. So, I'm thinking that Gigabyte board used the 16X connection for the DVI/HDMI ports.
BTW, Anandtech finally has the next mATX motherboard roundup installment up, this one focusing on the G33 chipset and including overclocking results.

Better half year late than never.
