Dual Duelling DDR2 AMD Motherboards

Published by

Now that AMD is fully on board the DDR2 bandwagon, the Socket AM2 motherboards are arriving. We look at two of the first, each for a very different audience. Which is right for you?

Today, we take a close look at a pair of boards based on the Nforce 590 SLI? Foxconn's C51XEM2AA and the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe, Wireless Edition. One is specifically designed for users who like to hot-rod their systems and wring out every last possible clock cycle. The other is more mainstream (and slightly less overclocker friendly) but no less potent. Think of one as a Dodge Viper and the other as a BMW M5, if you will.
