Earlier this month Gigabyte had launched AMD's Socket AM3 based motherboard featuring their new Ultra Durable 3 Classic technology with 2 oz Copper.
The new GA-EG45M-UD2H has 2 ounces Copper and supports Intel's 45nm Core 2 Duo processors with 1600 MHz overclocked Front Side Bus. This motherboard supports up to 16GB of DDR2 RAM with 1066 MHz (overclocked) and has dual-channel memory architecture. Also, it has Intel's recent GMA X4500HD graphics integrated and offers PCI-E x16 2.0 interface.
Gigabyte has integrated HDMI port with HDCP support and boasts smoother HD and Blu-ray video playback. In its sound department, the motherboard is equipped with Realtek ALC889A sound chip that offers high-definition 7.1 + 2 channel audio that promises a home theater experience. The motherboard also offers dolby home theater support.
Gigabyte's GA-EG45M-UD2H offer five SATA 3GB/s connectors, one eSATA 3GB/s device and up to two FireWire ports support. The highlight of the motherboard is the 2 ounce copper in the power and ground levels of the PCB and the 50,000 Japanese capacitors. Both these features help in energy efficiency, especially in overclocked environments.
Gigabyte features Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced energy-saving technology that allows multi-gear power phase switching when system is being overclocked to provide stability to the system.
Gigabyte is yet to announce the motherboard's price and availability.

IBM to laid-off: Want a job in India?
Employees who would otherwise face layoffs from their North American jobs at IBM are being given the chance to work abroad through 'Project Match.'
NEW YORK (CNN) -- IBM employees being laid off in North America now have an alternative to joining the growing ranks of the unemployed - work for the company abroad.
Big Blue is offering its outgoing workers in the United States and Canada a chance to take an IBM job in India, Nigeria, Russia or other countries.
Through a program dubbed Project Match, IBM will help interested workers whose jobs are on the chopping block to "identify potential opportunities in growth markets and facilitate consideration by hiring managers in those markets," according to an internal company document obtained by CNN.
The company also will help with moving costs and provide visa assistance, it says.
Other countries with IBM opportunities include Argentina, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates, according to the document.
Only "satisfactory performers" who are "willing to work on local terms and conditions" should pursue the jobs, the document says. IBM would not immediately confirm if it means that the workers would be paid local wages and would be subject to local labor laws.
A spokesman for Alliance@IBM, a workers' group that is affiliated with the Communications Workers of America but does not have official union status at IBM, slammed the initiative.
"IBM not only is offshoring its work to low-cost countries, now IBM wants employees to offshore themselves," spokesman Lee Conrad told CNN. "At a time of rising unemployment IBM should be looking to keep both the work and the workers in the United States."
The Armonk, N.Y.-based company has confirmed recent layoffs but has not provided any specifics on the number of people affected.
Conrad said IBM (IBM, Fortune 500) has laid off more than 4,000 workers in the United States since the beginning of the year, but called that "a conservative number."
"This is unacceptable to the Alliance and we are pursuing this by asking our members and all IBM employees to contact their political representatives to demand an accounting and transparency in job cuts and offshoring from IBM," Conrad said.
