Asus A8V Deluxe

· by John Chen

The lucky guys at DH got the goods on the new S939 board. Asus makes quality boards and this shouldn’t be any different.

“Back when Socket 940 was in its prime we looked at the Asus SK8V and found it to be the best motherboard we had used on any platform. It had excellent stability and performance straight out of the box and was as feature packed as you could hope for. To this day I still recommend it to people building 940 based systems (and its little brother the K8V for Socket 754 systems). With the move to socket 939 Asus have a new board for Athlon users in the shape of the A8V. We were lucky enough to receive a review sample of the new A8V from Asus and with high hopes we built a system around it.”
