On the Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H is the first motherboard we’ve seen from the new Nvidia GeForce 9400 chipset, but we saw something similar in recent times; ASUS P5N7A-VM. This model uses a chipset NVIDIA GeForce 9300, which is almost identical in every aspect. Both the Core 2 processor support, in front of the bus to 1333MHz, and 800MHz DDR2 memory, but there is a small difference of a core graphic. In 9300 work at 450MHz core and has 16 unified shaders, which are clocked at 1200MHz, while the core rate in 9400 is 580MHz and 1400MHz shader run. Graphics memory is 256MB or 512MB of system memory division and clearly the speed is dictated by the type of memory that you choose. Nvidia GeForce 9300/9400 stipulates that supports DDR2-800 and DDR3-1333.[Trustedreviews]
