We know many of you have been waiting for quite some time to get your hands on one of the very soon to launch – and already available in some countries – Intel 7-series chipset based motherboards. As such we thought it would be helpful to give a bit of an overview as to the pricing of some of the new boards and compare what you get for your money.
It's easy to forget about the smaller players in the motherboard market, but Biostar has reminded us that it's still a player with the unveiling of its first Z77 motherboard, the TZ77XE4. The board itself isn't all that remarkable though, especially not for a high-end model, but it's the first Z77 motherboard to be officially announced.
There seems to be no end to the X79 motherboards that are being shown off ahead of the official launch which is now less than two weeks away and pictures of Biostar's upcoming X79 board which will be called the TPower X79 has now made their way online. We don't have tons of details on this board and have to simply go with what we can deduct from the pictures, so sadly this won't be the most detailed look at the board
Notable motherboard manufacturer BIOSTAR thinks it finally got its sub-$150 Intel Z68-based motherboard right, with the TZ68K+. The new motherboard was released to market at a price point close to the TZ68A+. The company earlier released the TZ68A+, a Z68 motherboard in the ATX form-factor, at a sweet price point of around $130. Reviewers noted that while there are no issues with the quality, it could certainly do with some minor changes. BIOSTAR seems to have incorporated many of those suggestions into the new TZ68K+.
It's tough being at the bottom of the list of motherboard manufacturers, but it doesn't stop Biostar from doing what it's doing and the company is getting ready to launch its slightly higher-end Z68 motherboard, the TZ68K+. It's not the most impressive addition we've ever seen, as Biostar has only tweaked a few minor feature of its TZ68A+, but it's an improvement nonetheless.
BIOSTAR will be releasing new AMD motherboards based on the A75 chipset in July to coincide with the official worldwide launch of the Llano APU. More details inside.

Finalised. We see loads of upcoming motherboards, graphics card and have sorted them out based on different manufacturers. Enjoy.
Biostar has just announced the Biostar TZ68A+ motherboard using the Intel Z68 chipset. Features include Biostar's exclusive BIO-Remote2 and Charger Booster utilities, a 5-phase power supply design with 100% solid capacitors, and Lucid Virtu GPU Virtualization.

These days there are four major Taiwanese motherboard makers and then we have Biostar and Jetway somewhere down the bottom-end of the market. That said, Biostar has had some success with the overclocking crowd and now details of its first Z68 based motherboard and although we can't say that this is a board we'd rush out to buy.
Back in the glory days of SFF systems, Biostar offered some of the best, if not the best SFF barebones, beating even Shuttle at their own game. However, since then Biostar hasn’t really focused on small motherboard for consumers, although the company has an extensive line of mini-ITX industrial PC boards. However, that looks set to change, as the company was showing off a brand new H61 chipset mini-ITX board at CeBIT that even has a unique feature we haven’t seen before.
Ahead of CeBIT, Biostar has unveiled its Intel H61 chipset based motherboard models and the company will offer three different SKUs of what is pretty much the same board as well as one more advanced model. The H61 chipset is Intel's budget solution for the second generation Core i processors and is really intended to be paired up with the cheaper Pentium branded CPUs which are expected to launch sometime later this year.
This is quite... interesting: one astrological sign will be introduced every week, and all you have to do is guess the most suitable BIOSTAR motherboard for that particular sign. One lucky winner will be selected every week, and each will walk away with an Intel X25-V 40GB SSD.
BIOSTAR has introduced a slew of motherboards based on various AMD chipsets. These include the A770E3 and A770L3, based on the AMD 770 Chipset; the A780L and A780L3, based on the AMD 760G Chipset; and the A880G+, based on the AMD 880G Chipset.
