At TWL, there is a review of a FIC K8T800.
Hexus reviews a jetway XP board.
Albatron Canterwood action over at PCStats.
Asus FX5900 @ HTPC.
And the rest:
Morex's cube case @ Pyroport, Xmicro stuff @ TT, Logitech Z3 Speakers @ Envynews, Half-cube HTPC case @ Epiacenter, QVS maintainance kit @ ER, Xmicro MP3 player @ RBMods, WinXP Security Tweaking @ IANAG, Something @ PDAToday, Lapping a P4 IHS @ Madshrimps, X-blade case @ ClubOC.

Processing at 64 bit is currently thought of as the future brought to us in the here and now. AMD was the first to market with a consumer level serious 64 bit processor. Shortly after, FIC released an AMD 64 motherboard aimed at the mainstream market that would bring 64 bit computing to consumers at a price that was well below the competition.

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 need to initially purchase a compatible graphics card and low cost make things that bit more bearable.

What happens then to those consumers who don't want fully loaded motherboard? Why should they spend the extra money for features that aren't really needed? For example, my main PC has an IDE RAID controller, onboard 5.1 channel audio, IEEE 1394 and onboard CSA Gigabit LAN... but they all sit idle. They're nifty features to have, but if I could have gone with a motherboard without them for a lower price, I would have

As the latest and the greatest is always better, performance wise, I have decided to take a look at a card by Asus sporting the Geforce FX5900 with the NV35 GPU. I opted for the 256mb version because when newer games come out that can utilize 256mb's I will be ahead of the game. The V9950 Ultra is the 256MB version of the V9950.
