Viperlair checks out the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard in their latest review.
"Last year NVIDIA revamped their motherboard lineup with a newer version of the nForce 4 that offers two full PCI Express x16 lanes for SLI configurations. This new premium product has relegated the dual x8 boards to the sub-$100 market, but as some tests have shown, depending on the setup and the games, the full potential of dual x16 is not fully realized. This does not necessarily make the newer SLI chipset a poor solution at this time as there are several other benefits that are a byproduct of chipset revisions.
ASUS is a company well known to many enthusiasts and their previous AMD based SLI offerings have garnered high marks from many, including us here at Viper Lair. The ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe is their latest addition to their AMD motherboard product line. ASUS has done much more than slapping on a new chipset and calling it a day though as they have overhauled the motherboard design in several ways that will better benefit the intended market of the motherboard.
If you are in the hunt for a new board, the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe will rank pretty high on VL's recommended list for a number of reasons. Performance was generally better than the MSI K8N Neo4 Diamond on average, which up until today was the fastest NVIDIA SLI board, let alone an Athlon 64 board, in our labs. Out of the box, the A8N32-SLI worked like a charm, with no problems whatsoever."
