Quote:Ask yourself exactly what you want out of a motherboard. Do you
want the best feature set for £150? If so, look elsewhere. Do you want
a board that, other things being equal, will probably overclock higher
than other LGA775 models and offer the largest array of user-definable
options? If so, the Fatal1ty AA8XE is probably the best choice. The
most fundamental question for gamers/enthusiasts looking to build a
gaming monster of a PC is whether it's the best gaming board,
period?. The answer is no, and has little to do with how well ABIT
has architected this model. Put simply, AMD Athlon 64 CPUs are the
gaming CPUs of choice, as shown by the brief look at gaming results
on the previous page. Buy yourself a competent S939 board and run
with a mid-to-high-end Athlon 64 CPU instead. Either that, or invest
in an SLI-capable motherboard for either platform.
However, if you absolutely, positively want to run a decent Intel
gaming platform, the ABIT Fatal1ty AA8XE remains a great choice.
