Summary

The Garibaldi has nice scores in both video and system stress and function ability tests, making this a real performance leader. I liked this motherboard. It was quite easy to work with as there are really no serious changes that have to be made to the motherboard to get up and going. It is a very plug and play solution. Intel has a winning combination in the Pentium 4 CPU and the 850 Chipset, and it shows in the test scores.
