  • NVIDIA's nForce4

    19 October 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

  • ECS 915P-A

    11 October 2004, 00:00

    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. ...

  • Jetway PT800TWIN

    13 September 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

  • Chaintech Summit SK8T800 Motherboard

    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 ...

  • ECS KV2 Extreme

    19 August 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

  • Gigabyte K8 Triton GA-K8NS Pro

    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 ...

  • ECS PF4 Extreme

    11 August 2004, 00:00

    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.

  • ASUS P5GD2 i915P & P5AD2 i925X Premium

    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 ...

  • ABIT AG8

    28 July 2004, 00:00

    Given the AA8 as a base, the question to be asked of the AG8 is does its use of DDR memory make the platform any more attractive. Again, personally, I ...

  • ABIT AA8 DuraMAX

    28 July 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

    28 June 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

    22 June 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

  • ASUS P4C800-E i875P Motherboard

    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 ...

  • Albatron PX875P Pro

    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 ...

  • Intel's 915P and 925X w/ LGA775, DDR-II and PCI-Express

    19 June 2004, 00:00

    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. ...

    18 June 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum Edition nF3 250Gb

    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 ...

  • ABIT KV8 Pro K8T800 Pro Motherboard

    25 May 2004, 00:00

    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 ...

  • VIA K8T800 Pro (S940) Chipset

    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 ...

  • Jetway N2VIEW

    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 ...
