Sly stole the show, literally!

Advantages: Amazing presentation; stylish gameplay; great for kids and adults alike; it's just plain fun!

Review of Sly Raccoon (PS2)

It's the SLI of the tiger

Advantages: SLI. AMD64 bit goodness, DDR memory still used, Hypertransport, Hardware Firewall, Cable testing ports
Disadvantages: New PSU needed for 24 pin ATX and PCI-E power, BIOS updates required

...oops, I did it again with such a SAD title that half the readers of this small review on the newest Nvidia chipset based motherboard for the AMD64 socket 939 platform, have probably closed their browsers in disbelief. It was Just around the Christmas/New Year I decided that frankly my old XP3200+ based system could no longer cut the mustard so to speak, so off I went ( once I had been paid ) and bought nearly a complete system based around the Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. As far as motherboards go, I only really like to use 2 of the well-known brands which are Abit and Asus. According to our Abit contact we have at work, would not have an SLI motherboard out for "quite a few months" I had only the Asus range to choose from. Now I was torn between a new PCI-E based platform or an older based AGP system - and I thought seeing as SLI was...

Review of ABIT Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI - motherboard - ATX - nForce 650i SLI

A great mid-price board for budget SLi systems

Advantages: Quick connectors, built in bios recovery, overclocking features
Disadvantages: No port 80 (LED diagnostics) display, angled IDE sockets

...of options for overclocking. The onboard lan is 1000 Mbps as you would expect. The two IDE sockets face forward at 90 degrees to the board which actually made them more fiddly in my Antec superlanboy case. Also the cpu socket protector felt as though I might break the board when I removed it to fit the cpu. Still, once the Zalman cooler clip was fitted underneath and the Q6600 cpu and cooler were in place, I stuck some memory in, connected the PSU and decided to fire it up. I noticed there was no port 80 card on the board but it turned out I didn't need it as the system came to life first go. The motherboard comes with a full instruction manual and quick set-up guide, driver cds, SLI connector cable, 2 sata cables, an IDE and floppy cable and a molex to sata-power adapter. I haven't overclocked this system yet but I'm getting core...

P5N32 SLi - Deluxe Motherboard

Advantages: Good quality, good build, high end specifications.
Disadvantages: Funny little heatsinks.

...Asus P5N32 SLi Deluxe nForce 4 Motherboard It would be possible to go on forever about this device, but I intend to keep the techno babble to a minimum. Or at least that's the plan. As such I'm going to go through the main features in detail and then talk a little bit about the other bits. The motherboard is very well designed and if anyone is interested comes with a slick black finish to the PCB (printed circuit board) and some interesting heatsinks draped across the board. The first thing I thought when I saw these heatsinks was 'bugger'. They look pretty and they mean that you have no whiney little 40mm fans on the board (the smaller the fan the more high pitched the noise it produces, generally you can get fans between 12mm and 180mm). This cleaver design of heatsink also allows for the mounting of optional fans that come...

Review of ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe - motherboard - ATX - nForce4 SLI Intel

Top quality SLi motherboard

Advantages: SLI, price, feature rich
Disadvantages: Comparitively expensive

...Asus has consistently produced top-quality products offering both superior quality and features. The A8N-SLi Deluxe is no exception to this and offers a host of overclocking and other features and excellent build quality. Installation of components onto the board is a relatively simple matter and thanks to Asus' Stack Cool 2 and the heat pipe system the board is incredibly efficient at dissipating heat. However, the one problem I did have with the board was that the onboard Realtek sound card was a little tempormental with the bundled drivers and would not install at all on Vista. Fortunately, this is easily fixed by downloading the latest drivers from Asus' website. In all this is a superb quality, feature packed, product from a manufacturer with a reputation for quality and service. If you are looking for a high...

Review of ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe - motherboard - ATX - nForce4 SLI

Superb sli enthusiast board

Advantages: easy instal, x16 bandwidth on both slots, 2x gigabit lan, easy overclock
Disadvantages: fan loud on nb

...Bought this board to replace the Asus P5N32-e SLI Plus board that wldnt overclock my processor at all. Really impressed so far as the board has lived up to all the hype that surrounds it on the internet. Packaging: This board was packed a liuttle differently to any motherboard that i have bought in the past. Instead of an anti-static bag it came in plastic mould that seated the board very well and prevented any damage occuring during transit. The board also had a multitude of accesories with it. This included the manual, quick start guide, sli bridge connector, driveers disk, sata floppy disk, black sata cables and black ide cables. Specs:Performance Based on NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI Chipset chipset Supports Intel Core 2 Extreme, Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel Core 2 Duo, Pentium EE, and Pentium processors 1066/1333 Mhz Front Side...
