The WinFast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS motherboard was really easy to work with and posed no problems with anything that we threw at it. The NF4SK8AA-8EKRS also did very well for itself in the area of overclocking. Being able to run my Opteron 146 at 2.9ghz+ was pretty impressive on this sub-$100 board.

DFI has once again developed a motherboard that caters to the enthusiasts but also carries riches needed in a fully-fledged multimedia PC. The overclocking potential is simply marvelous with my 3000+ Venice breaking 300*9 and even posting at 315*9!

Is the Socket 754 dead? I don't think so! I believe it is alive and well and still being supported by many manufacturers. One of those manufacturers is Albatron, in January of this year they released a few new socket 754 boards, in this review I will be taking a look at one of them that is based on the NF4 chipset with built in NVIDIA Geforce 6100 graphics engine. The KM51G is a Micro-ATX form factor with lots of great features built into it. I've found that it is a great all around board, and not a bad overclocker either. Let's check it out...

The Foxconn 975X7AA has turned out to be a surprisingly good overclocker as far as FSB capabilities go! While the memory tunables are quite limited, and we're still stuck with that FSB/memory lock, I managed to raise the FSB to a whopping 280 MHz (from its stock 200 MHz). This gives us an awesome 1120 MHz FSB, which is definitely nothing to scoff at.

The board is solid, well built, reasonably stable and is pretty overclockable too. The BIOS is great and is a tweaker's heaven. We feel that it needs to mature a little to allow for more overclocking headroom. You should start to see more of this board's potential ooze out in the bucket load as more BIOS revisions come out.

In terms of features, the PC-A9RD580 motherboard from Sapphire is in a decent position, due to the inclusion of Crossfire support, 8 SATA ports, and generally high performance for the AMD Athlon 64 platform. This Crossfire platform motherboard is stable, fast, overclocks well, and has an excellent layout to boot, all good qualities for the enthusiast user. The board has excellent looks as its PCB is a sort of cream colored white that looks cool especially with blue light hitting it. Check this one out, you may find something you like here.
