Albatron K8SLI nForce4 SLI:

Overclockers New Zealand has posted a short review of the Albatron K8SLI nForce4 SLI, socket 939 motherboard. While the board in this review was quite the overclocker, we had quite different results in our review earlier this month.

The Albatron K8SLI exhibits an extraordinary level of overclocking potential, reaching 332MHz "FSB". (Note overclocking is NOT guaranteed and may vary from sample to sample.) Based on our sample, Albatron K8SLI entered the same realm as the famous DFI LanParty series!!
