Abit’s Fatal1ty AN8 motherboard reviewed @ TR

“ABIT FIRST INTRODUCED its Fatal1ty-branded motherboard line with the Intel 925XE-based Fatal1ty AA8XE. Given the Pentium 4 platform’s comparably poor gaming performance, that probably wasn’t the greatest idea. After all, the Fatal1ty brand squarely targets gamers and enthusiasts who know better than to covet Pentium 4 motherboards.

It seems that Abit now knows better, too. They’ve bolstered the Fatal1ty lineup with the Fatal1ty AN8 motherboard for Athlon 64 processors. With a 939-pin socket, nForce4 Ultra chipset, temperature-controlled OTES cooling, and a loaded uGuru-powered BIOS, the Fatal1ty AN8 could be the ultimate Athlon 64 platform for gamers, overclockers, and enthusiasts. Read on to see if it was worth the wait.”

I have to admit that it was strange to see the first Fatal1ty board on an Intel platform. Currently, it’s common sense that AMD’s A64 provides superior gaming performance.

Our review of the Fatal1ty AN8 is done. Stay tuned as it will publish within the next few days.
