EPoX 8NPA SLI Motherboard Review @ TweakTown

Leave it to Epox to release something outrageous.
"How many AMD Athlon 64 users remember Socket 754? Probably about 70% of the AMD 64 crew wouldn’t know of or fully remember Socket 754. It’s ironic due to the fact this is where AMD Athlon 64 started and the new Socket 939 come as a result of Intel’s overpowering DDR memory controller. Socket 754 was where AMD Athlon 64 launched the Clawhammer architecture using a 3200+ core with 1MB L2 cache. Unfortunately, AMD’s short sightedness not to include a dual channel memory controller in the original designs pushed Socket 754 towards the backburner rather quickly."
Funny thing is... I'm running a 754 3200+ in my main workstation right now and it runs like a champ!
