  • ABIT AI7 Springdale

    1 December 2003, 00:00

    In summary, a new twist on a proven formula. The AI7 is a decent and stable board. The problem is that there's plenty of those floating around. Add a PAT-like ...

  • Biostar K8VHA Pro vs. K8NHA Pro

    23 November 2003, 00:00

    Two boards that highlight the power of the Athlon 64 3200+ to the fullest. Both are extremely fast and carry a reasonable feature set. Yet we feel as if both ...

  • VIA PT880

    18 November 2003, 00:00

  • Biostar M7NCG 400 and K8NHA-M mATX boards

    11 November 2003, 00:00

    I believe we\'ve proved that it\'s a fallacy to state microATX boards cannot compete with full-blown desktop offerings in most respects. Manufacturers have become acutely aware that the form factor ...

  • DFI 865PE INFINITY

    16 October 2003, 00:00

    18 September 2003, 00:00

    Excepting a couple of idiosyncratic features exhibited by the sample board (FSB fluctuation in Windows and under-volting), the 8RDA3G is an decent introduction into NVIDIA nForce2 power. If your budget ...

    15 September 2003, 00:00

    If MSI can market this board at, say, £20 lower than a similarly specified nForce2 Ultra 400, we can see a number of OEM system integrators opting for it. The ...

  • VIA PT800 Chipset

    29 August 2003, 00:00

    We feel that VIA needs to ensure that volume chipset supplies are available to its partners, and the partners need to get the boards out to market forthwith. Intel, it ...

    30 July 2003, 00:00

    In conclusion, then, one of the finer nForce2 Ultra 400 boards if features, individuality and bundle is high on your list of priorities. Tentative pricing puts it at around £120, ...

  • DFI LANPARTY PRO875 CANTERWOOD

    20 July 2003, 00:00

    The DFI's Canterwood heritage and name will count against it when considered in relation to a number of excellent Springdale boards that have flooded the market recently. It's hard to ...

  • Shuttle AB60RS Springdale

    16 July 2003, 00:00

    Shuttle's task is a difficult one. Because they're not as well known in the U.K as, say, ASUS or ABIT, they have to make their boards better than these truly ...

    Bar the odd latency issue, the AN35N is another solid if unexciting board. The trouble for Shuttle is that most of the major players have excellent boards already, so a ...
