Foxconn NFPIK8AA:

The Tech Report has posted a 16 page review of the nForce Pro 2200 powered Foxconn NFPIK8AA for your viewing pleasure. Here is a quote from the full review:

Foxconn has a new single-socket Opteron board primed for dual-core processors. The awkwardly-named NFPIK8AA taps NVIDIA's latest nForce Pro chipset to offer eight Serial ATA ports with 300MB/sec transfer rates, dual hardware-accelerated Gigabit Ethernet ports, and more PCI Express lanes than any other motherboard we've tested.

Foxconn 925XE7AA-8EKRS2:

Today seems to be the day for Foxconn motherboard reviews. Viper Lair took the Foxconn 925XE7AA-8EKRS2 LGA775 motherboard around the block a few times. Minor quibbles aside, the VL team seemed to like the 925XE7AA-8EKRS2.

Overall, the Foxconn 925XE is a solid motherboard. Its performance is right no par with other similar systems, and possibly ahead in some tests.

ATI Radeon X850XT-PE:

After you read this ATI Radeon X850XT Platinum Edition review at 3Daccelerated I recommend you check out our reviews of the Radeon X850XT-PE AGP and the Radeon X850XT-PE PCI-E for comparison purposes.

A look at all the benchmarks we measured above, there's no doubt about the X850XTPE being the top performer out of ATI at the moment, but the gains aren't spectacular nor are they cutting age technology.
