“Take for example the new DDR3 standard. Right now DDR2 is so inexpensive you can get 4GB for under $100 USD and that is just an awesome price. But DDR2 days are numbered and DDR3 is so expensive right now it just doesn’t make much sense. What is an enthusiast to do? Thankfully Foxconn has a solution. They have taken Intel’s X38 high-end chipset and installed it on a board capable of supporting DDR2 or DDR3.”

“We’re writing to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at HotHardware.com in which we evaluate the features and performance of MSI’s P35 Platinum Combo motherboard. As its name implies, this board is based on the P35 chipset for the Intel platform. But what makes it interesting is its somewhat unique ability to work with both DDR3 and DDR2 memory types and its funky “Circu-Pipe” cooling apparatus.”

“The Abit AX78 Socket AM2 Motherboard is based on the AMD 770 / SB600 chipset and supports the AMD Dual and Quad Core processors. It accepts up to 8GBs of Dual channel DDR2 1066/800/667 un-buffered non-ECC memory. This motherboard also comes with passive cooling using just heatsinks and a heatpipe, so it’s completely silent.”

“Back when Socket A, and later Socket 939, were the preferred platforms for enthusiasts, one motherboard company emerged as the king of overclocking, DFI. DFI’s LanParty boards had it all: colorful UV reactive components, excellent BIOS conducive to overclocking, rock-solid stability, and excellent reliability.”
