Final Impressions

I have to admit I was skeptical about the chances of the Asus A7N266-C motherboard out performing the Epox 8KHA+. After running the Sandra Benchmarks I looked at the numbers produced by the memory benchmark and assumed it was going to be another day at the beach for the 8KHA+ motherboard and it's KT266a chipset. Well you know what they say about assuming. The clouds rolled in and the RED flags were flying as the threat of impending danger increased with every benchmark preformed.

The combination of Asus and nVidia has resulted in an extremely stable AMD platform that is not only economical but a contender for the fastest AMD platform crown. NVidia, known for their GPU performance, has paddled into the shark-infested waters of motherboard chipset manufacturers. With the nerves of the Big Kahana, the A7N266-C has caught a major wave and ridden it ashore.

During our testing sessions the A7N266-C performance was outstanding. The bundled ACR-A6CH sound card worked flawlessly and even rocked the home entertainment system for a few rounds of UT and a couple laps around Daytona Motor Speedway. Makes the FOX Crank-IT-UP on Sundays seem weak. As I stated earlier the installation of the motherboard and OS is painless but there is that one complaint about the CPU socket and is only troublesome if you are always adjusting and tweaking on your rig. Asus has included the overclocking features every tweaker looks for in the Bios and through the utilization of jumpers. We were able to get the system to run with the FSB set to 143mhz stably. Anymore and the system would randomly hang during testing. Overall the A7N266-C has a lot of bang for the buck and would be a solid choice for building a workstation or gaming system for the office or home.
