There are quite a number of decent S754 motherboards crowding the marketplace right now. Soltek, I feel, has added to that crowd by producing a stable, solid board which is ...

EPoX has manufactured a solid nForce3 Ultra motherboard with the 9NDA3+. The problem that currently exists in Socket-939 land is that nearly everyone else can produce a solid, stable, and ...

ATI has designed a multi-purpose chipset that will appeal to a wide range of users. On the one hand, the enthusiast has the choice of opting for a competitive chipset ...

We're more than pleasantly surprised by the P4S800D-E Deluxe, in fact we're positively enthusiastic about its price/performance showing. We're happy to recommend it and be sure to put it on ...

We've come away from our evaluation of the K8N-E very impressed. Given AMD's announcement recently of the budget Sempron line on Socket 754, along with low cost 2800+ and 3000+ ...
31 October 2004, 00:00
AMD has moved on but Intel's top-level performance has remained largely the same, so whilst I'm a fan of all the good aspects of 925X/XE chipsets, I find it hard ...
29 October 2004, 00:00
Considered in absolute isolation, the K8NHA Grand isn't a bad board by any means. The problem is just how well the competition is doing right now, in terms of price, ...

VIA's K8T800 Pro chipset powers the most popular Socket 754 boards on the market and when that core logic was released, it was no surprise to see the major Tier-I ...

It's a really excellent bit of core logic for AMD CPUs. I know many of you have been waiting for nForce4 before you upgraded to PCI Express graphics cards. It's ...

Supporting LGA775 processors, it's by far the most interesting board in ECS's current line-up, squarely targetting the user who wants to upgrade to LGA775, but in the smallest steps possible. ...

It\'s a specialist product that works well, but there are a lot of caveats to take into consideration before you\'d do so. You\'ll know straight away if a MagicTwin system ...
20 August 2004, 00:00
Let\'s be clear. The SK8T800 doesn\'t pretend to be an enthusiasts\' board in the least, but a little voltage wouldn\'t have gone astray. Every product should be evaluated with due ...

Two out of three ECS boards tested, two out of three really excellent products. The PF4 impressed and so does the KV2. Again, the price, feature set and basic performance ...
13 August 2004, 00:00
For me, choosing the K8NS Pro lies on how much ATA devices you want to attach to the board. It offers more ATA-based flexibility than the ASUS K8N-E, keeping almost ...

Providing you've got no trouble investing in DDR-II memory, the ECS PF4 Extreme looks to be the best LGA775 mainboard we've yet tested at HEXUS, by quite a distance.
2 August 2004, 00:00
Intel\'s 900-series of chipsets attempt to modernise motherboard design from almost every angle. The cost of such modernisation is mediocre speed and, perhaps, limited overclockability. ASUS has done a good ...

The new platform's inherent downsides all manifest themselves with the AA8, given that it implements absolutely everything new. DDR-II is underwhelming, scarce and more expensive than DDR, PCI Express graphics ...

Paired with low-latency memory and a high-end graphics card, the ASUSTeK A8V Deluxe provides excellent performance right across the board. If you\'ve set your heart on a power system and ...

If you've got anything recent as far as Socket A goes, you're not going to see much to tempt you to the -E Deluxe, unless WiFi is your thing. Enthusiasts ...

DFI\'s produced another well-rounded motherboard that demands to be shortlisted for top-end S478 machines. Priced in the neighbourhood of £120, it also represents good i875P value. Our reservations lie in ...
22 June 2004, 00:00
Priced at just below the £140 mark makes it an expensive motherboard. We feel that it has enough going for it to justify that price tag. It may not be ...
22 June 2004, 00:00
Overall, provided it\'s cheap, it\'s recommended. You can buy better, there\'s no getting away from that, but you can buy much much worse at the same time. Above average from ...

The fears surrounding the operation of the socket itself are unfounded, at least in this reviewers eyes, my cack-handed penchant for mishandling hardware not troubling the new socket one bit. ...

There's nothing much intrinsically wrong with the Zenith ZNF3-250. Great audio. FireWire, external boxes and a mouth-watering bundle are definite plusses. We, however, would recommend a revision B board with ...
27 May 2004, 00:00
We just need a revised BIOS that allows the enthusiast really push the board to the limit. The AGP/PCI lock is in place but it\'s of questionable value when multiplier ...

This will undoubtedly be ABIT's cheaper S754 VIA K8T800 Pro motherboard. Expect a MAX3 model soon, and we're sure it'll be laden with various cooling gadgets and a few extra ...
24 May 2004, 00:00
The reference board has shown that motherboard manufacturers will have an easy time in switching between present K8T800-based production to Pro boards. We've seen most major manufacturers produce press releases ...
12 May 2004, 00:00
With an onboard graphics core and decent performance from Athlon XP, the N2VIEW makes a lot more sense as a MagicTwin platform, compared to the PT800TWIN. Low cost processors, no ...

The NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb is a step forward for Socket-754, albeit one that's taken six months to arrive. Fortunately EPoX has done a decent job with the 8KDA3+. The lack ...
17 April 2004, 00:00
Given the street price of ~£75 and the wealth of features on offer from ASUS, the P4R800-V Deluxe is an excellent motherboard if pure performance isn\'t your primary aim. ASUS ...

If you're new to the market and know you want FX-5x (53 is going to be avaliable to buy soon), wait for the K8T800 Pro version if you want to ...

If evaluated in context of its intended pricing structure the AOpen AK86-L deserves to be included on at least a shortlist of boards. It doesn't particularly excel in any one ...
