Motherboards you want reviewed

[First]

As you've probably noticed, there haven't been a lot of motherboard reviews lately. Wesley has done a great job of picking up the slack in my absence from the site (school, argh ), but the amount of interesting hardware to review (boards in particular) in the last couple months has been low. I've got boards like the ABIT AI7 (Guru overclocking technology plus 865PE chipset), the MAX3 (old news by now though), and much older boards that weren't really that interesting (655FX boards, etc.).

So, I'm here asking you guys what exactly you're interested in for board reviews. Any board in particular you want to learn about? Anything you wanted changed about our motherboard review format? Just feel like flaming us? Include all that info in this thread.

Take care,

Evan

Evan, can you guys do a comparison review of the Abit AN7 and the NF7-S Rev 2.0? I'd like to see a performance comparison between the two in the worst way. A feature set comparison would be nice, too.

Thanks!

I second that. From my general browsing, it seems as though the AN7 isnt up to the good old standards of the NF7-S Rev 2.0.

Might be upgrading shortly so Id like to know whether an extra £5 or ~$10 is worth it.

I realize you can't evaluate just the board, but I'm certain many of us would like to see the type of comprehensive review this site is famous for done on the Shuttle XPC ST61G4 with ATI RS300 + IXP150 chipset.

I would be very interested in reading through a "budget" AMD 64 socket 754 shootout. Gigabyte has a nforce 3 board for 123 @ newegg, the ECS Sis board and others. Pairing this with the 3000+ 64 would get quite a few readers attention.

 

[Tates]

Abit AI7

Something from SIS maybe.
748
754
SIS P4 chipset.

 

[fritzfield]

Asus P4S800E-D (Sis 655TX chipset)

K7N2 Delt-L MSI, please.

I've noticed your reviews in general have been about high end products. And overclocked memory. For people like me who are looking for good budget products. I'd apperciate more budget product reviews.

 

[pspada]

If so, throw the FIC AU13 in.

 

[SeraphsSati]

Also, could you review the Asus A7N8X

and alternatives?

 

[optimistic]

Mobo with 9100 IGP from ATI. Example. But a full featured one if you can find one. OCable, full ATX.

[Vette73]

How about more Athlon64 (754 AND 939pin) boards

All the new SiS chipsets?

 

[jose]

How about a Xeon mobo ? ie Asus pp-dwl maxed out w/ 8gigs of memory.

Why motherboards? Look at the last speaker review! 2001!

I'd personally like to see...

Logitech Z-5300s 5.1s
Logitech Z-680s 5.1s

Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1s
Promedia GMX 5.1s

Creative Gigaworks S700 5.1s
Creative Inspire GD580 5.1s

Just a thought

NForce3 stuff... I just want to see more performance numbers, any brand works for me
