There seem to be 4 models of E350N board. The GA-E350N (rev 1.0) the GA-350N
(rev 3.0) and the GA-E350N Win8 (rev 1.0) all seem to have a parallel port, but
the GA-E350N-USB3 (rev 1.0) does not. The -USB3 has a different chipset (AMD
50M as opposed to AMD A45 FCH) but I don't know enough about those to be able
to comment on the effects they might have on latency.
I assume the latency test was carried out on the plain E350N, and it looks like
a good solution at a reasonable price.
A review on hardware.info says:
"Gigabyte submitted two E-350 motherboards, the GA-E350N (£60) and the
GA-E350N-USB3. The first one almost almost seems intended for industrial
applications, due to the presence of CPI instead of PCI-Express x16 and the
inclusion of old-fashioned parallel printer and serial ports. For consumers
these are useless. The board use the cheap A45 chipset which gives it 4x
SATA300 (and not SATA600). The Realtek ALC887 audio codec is also old. The
power consumption is very high for this board."
The reviewers liked the -USB3 a lot better, but then its newer, so I guess they
would, wouldn't they?
I think the issue here is that the parallel port will disappear quickly, so we
need good solutions ready for that time. Trouble is, those solutions cost
extra, and while they might add value (speed, consistency, or whatever), the
effect of the cheaper motherboards boards is largely negated.
