Asrock K7S8XE+

"The Asrock K7S8XE+ Motherboard is a Socket A Motherboard Revision v1.03 using the SIS748 Chipset operating at upto 400Mhz Front Side Bus using 400Mhz DDR memory and Bios v1.44a. The Asrock K7S8XE+ supports AGP 8x and the Special Feature Hybrid Booster."

"The XP2500 shows a very impressive increase over the XP1700 which ofcourse is to be expected. The use of efficent memory settings has allowed the SIS748 to dominate the SIS746FX in all of the benchmarks. The difference between the XP2500 and XP3000 was much smaller than I had expected and I believe that the cause is the Radeon 9600 video card used for this review. Both of the motherboards tested in this review worked without any problems at all, the SIS746FX became unstable but only with extreme memory settings. The only major difference between the two motherboards is the SIS748's ability for safe overclocking and it's offical support for the 400mhz front side bus. This allows the SIS748 to use the full Athlon XP range unlike the SIS746FX. The ASROCK K7S8XE+ motherboard has met all of my expectations and is a great feature packed motherboard, when you consider it's low price it's performance and stability are even more impressive."
