A8N5X

[Thomas Wendell]

Anybody seen/heard any reviews/comments/etc.. on this board?
If/when building new machine, might this be something for it, at 89eur?


Rest would be:
AMD Athlon64 3000 (Venice) box 152eur
TwinMOS 2*512MB dual kit DDR3200 109eur
Asustek 6200GE 90eyr
LG GSA-4167RB 55eur
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 250GB SATA 124eur

Total 530eur

and of course (maybe use existing) stuff like keyboard, mouse, casing and OS
for about 200eur...

According to Asusworld magazine, it is similar to A8N-E. It
uses "Nforce4" chipset, instead of "Nforce4 Ultra" on A8N-E.

Nforce4 on A8N5X:

Nforce4 Ultra on A8N-E:

It means your A8N5X would have 1.5Gb/sec SATA interfaces
and would be missing "NVIDIA ActiveArmor" dedicated
hardware engine (if that ever worked properly anyway).
The A8N-E can operate at 3.0Gb/sec on SATA.

With a 4eur price difference, I'll take A8N-E , then.....
(even though I don't think I need the 3GiB SATAII and ActiveArmor (I'm using
KerioPF behind NAT/NAPT box)
