Overall, a solid
Overall, a solid motherboard at a very good price.
ABIT NF7-S2
The ABIT NF7-S2 is designed with the overclocker in mind. Standard stuff is all there: AGP 8x, dual-channel DDR, Serial ATA, 6 channel audio with Dolby Digital 5.1, USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394. Do take note that you buy a board that is version 1.2 or higher. Overclocking was touted to be problem in earlier versions.
Gigabyte GA-K8U
The Gigabyte GA-K8U represents great value for money. Run an AMD Athlon 64 processor with DDR400 memory, SATA hard drive, AGP 8X video, built-in audio sound and high speed USB 2.0 support. This Socket 754 board is best suited for those on a budget but who still want great performance.
Conclusion
So which motherboard do you choose out of the five? Well, if you want extreme performance and screamingly fast speed, then you’ll certainly want to get the ASUS A8N-SLI.
