ECS PA1 MVP Extreme [Review, Hexus]
It pains me to say so but being a solid, dependable mainboard
- even at a pretty excellent £90 including VAT - sometimes isn't
enough to make a recommendation. There are better Pentium 4
mainboards out there (and ECS sell some of them!) and currently
Crossfire is fairly forgettable. Overclocking the PA1 was an exercise
in frustration although it appears a coming BIOS might solve some of
those problems. Stability was there to go with all the other upsides. Sat, 05 Nov, 2005 | 5 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Asus P5N32-SLI: Dual x16 - What Dreams Are Made On [Review, AnandTech]
The Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe that we will review today is also very unique in several ways and like most computer products in the current marketplace, its life span will be fleeting. However, for those of you who have the opportunity to utilize it, you will find what dreams are made on.
I will say this up front; this is one of the better motherboards that I have had the opportunity to use in the last 20 years. In fact, this board deserves additional testing time in order to explore fully and extract all of its performance potential. Thu, 03 Nov, 2005 | 25 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
DFI LANParty UT RDX200: ATI’s Crossfire AMD for the Bleeding Edge [Review, AnandTech]
DFI produced what is arguably the most enthusiast-friendly board on the retail market when they launched the LANParty nForce4 series. They then shocked the conventional wisdom among computer manufacturers when their LANParty nForce4 boards became the best seller in a market crowded with nForce4 products. With firm credentials for leadership in the Enthusiast market, DFI set their sights on producing a similar "Gold Standard" motherboard based on the ATI Crossfire AMD chipset. The question on everyone's mind is, has DFI done it again? Thu, 03 Nov, 2005 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

ASUS A8N32 SLI Deluxe - nForce 4 SLI X16 Unleashed [Review, HotHardware]
We certainly do evaluate and showcase our fair share of ASUS products here at HotHardware, and it's no great mystery because Asus is also typically one of the first out of the block with a new chipset technology. The company's new A8N32 SLI Deluxe motherboard is no exception. NVIDIA's new nForce 4 SLI X16 chipset has been out the door at NVIDIA for months now, but retail boards have yet to appear on the scene. We've heard ABIT and others may have boards on the horizon, based on this new high-end NVIDIA chipset, but the A8N32 SLI Deluxe was the first to hit our test bench, and it looks like it will be the first to hit retail sometime this week. NVIDIA has also launched the Intel version of the nForce 4 SLI X16, and we're also working with that board, dubbed the P5N32-SLI Deluxe, right now.

Foxconn WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS [Review, HotHardware]
Foxconn manufactures a wide range of products, ranging from video cards, to connectors, and as we'll explore today, motherboards. Over the years, we've had some experience with Foxconn, and while their products have not always been hardcore-enthusiast friendly, they have produced decent products. Today we'll be sampling Foxconn's WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS, as they aim to bring an affordable, but high quality, SLI solution to the AMD Platform. Higher end motherboards from ASUS and Abit can retail for well over $160, and unfortunately many of us can't afford that. The Foxconn WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS currently retails for around $125, however, which is a much more reasonable price for someone who wants SLI. Unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees, so we're always eager to look promising products with affordable prices. Mon, 24 Oct, 2005 | 11 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

EQS A72K9-CF Crossfire Edition Mainboard [Review, Hexus]
EQS enabled HEXUS with its EQS A72K9-CF CrossFire Edition
mainboard literally weeks before we got our grubby paws on the ATi
Master graphics board required to complete the platform for our
analysis on the launch of the CrossFire platform. That timely
showing, has enabled us to really get to know the EQS A72K9-CF
CrossFire Edition mainboard for this HEXUS article. Sat, 22 Oct, 2005 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Foxconn WinFast 6150K8MA-8EKRS [Review, overclockersonline]
The Foxconn WinFast 6150K8MA-8EKRS packs a lot of punch into a tiny
little package. The lack of DVI monitor and component video outputs does
take away from some of the shine that was put on this motherboard by the
performance it offers. With that said, I don't think we can hide from the
fact that this is one heck of a solid package in the price range it is being
offered. Foxconn has once again put a smile on my face with the overclocking
options and performance out of the Micro-ATX WinFast 6150K8MAA-8EKRS and I
think it is an exceptional offering in what is sure to become a very
competitive market. Sat, 22 Oct, 2005 | 16 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket M2 Upgradable Motherboard Review [Review, PCStats]
There seems to be a revolution occuring in the design of motherboards, and longevity is its hallmark. Traditionally, computer hardware has not been very flexible with components from different generations. Completely new generations of components (videocards aside) usually require completely new supporting hardware to go along. Advances in processors, memory standards, and even expansion devices have all subsequent changes to the underlying motherboards which support them. Replacing a motherboard every 8-12months may be good for business, but it's not necessarily great for consumers who want to stretch their investments in technology as far as possible.

ECS KN1 Extreme NF4 SLI Motherboard Review [Review, legitreviews]
Today we take the ECS KN1 Extreme SLI motherboard out for a spin. Looking at
the specifications the board is based on NVIDIA's NF4 chipset and features SLI
technology, so should we expect to see a solid motherboard if done right. ECS
told us to expect more from this SLI board than the original KN1 Extreme. Read

Foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS Mainboard [Review, hexus]
The Foxconn C51GK8MA, priced at around £65 in the retail
channel, offers the ideal combination of GeForce 6150 IGP and nForce4
430 southbridge in a microATX-sized form-factor. Board layout and BIOS
options were both surprisingly good, and the latter was a real bonus
for a form-factor that usually is bereft of any tweaking ability
whatsoever. Thu, 13 Oct, 2005 | 15 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Gigabyte GA-K8VT890-9 (VIA K8T890) [Review, hardwarezone]
VIA may have become the underdogs in the chipset race, but we find out that the old dog still has some bite in it. Gigabyte's GA-K8VT890-9 based on the K8T890 lacks advanced features, but you can be sure of a bang-for-buck performance little else can match.

Abit Fatal1ty AN8 SLI [Review, insanetek]

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 [Review, tbreak]
The ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 has a decent set of features supporting the 939 pin based
Athlon64/Dual Core CPUs with dual channel memory controller as well as most of the new
technologies like SATA2 and USB 2.0. You also get 7.1 channel audio and a 10/100 Network
interface which is fine. Of course, the biggest feature of this board is support for AGP 8X and
PCI-E x16 cards that can be utilized independent of each other or simultaneously. Tue, 04 Oct, 2005 | 27 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Biostar NF4SIE-A7 nForce4 SLI IE Motherboard Review [Review, Bjorn3d]
For years, NVIDIA fans and general enthusiasts wondered if NVIDIA would ever
release an Intel chipset. The nForce chipsets made quite an impact over the
years on the AMD side of things, so it only made sense that NVIDIA would
eventually try its luck on the bigger side of the fence. Back in April of this
year, NVIDIA finally answered that looming question with a resounding 'yes!' as
it launched the nForce4 SLI Intel Edition. Wed, 28 Sep, 2005 | 8 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

MSI P4N SLI (NVIDIA nForce4 SLI Intel Edition) [Review, HardwareZone]
An excellent motherboard built for pure gaming enjoyment. Don't expect a truckload of features though as the slimmed down MSI P4N SLI is designed for performance without the bulk, but since it also comes with a matching price reduction, who can argue?

Foxconn 945P7AA-8EKRS2 Motherboard Review [Review, PCStats]
Intel is one of the few companies that can push the entire computer industry in the direction it wants. That direction is currently taking shape in the form of muli-core processing, which naturally requires the newest chipsets to be fully realized. There are many benefits to multi-core processors; high end workstations and servers have long been equipped with more than CPU, allowing SMP-capable programs to distribute work loads. Depending on the applications and operating system, multi-processing environments can make a significant impact or have virtually none.
