OC Workbench ha pubblicato la recensione della nuova Asus A7N8X basata sul neonato chipset nVIDIA nForce2. Con l'utilizzo di particolari bios, sembra inoltre possibile impostare qualsiasi fattore di moltiplicazione senza sbloccare direttamente la CPU. Questo però vale solo per gli ultimi Athlon XP a 0.13 micron.

To my surprise, the boards run rock stable even at DDR400 CAS 2,2-2-5 timings even in a dual channel setup. In fact, the BIOS is default to 135.xx which is something which might have skew the results higher. One thing I can confirm is that the if you operate at dual ddr400 mode.

Overall, the board based on the nForce2 chipset is something that kept to it's promise of Dual channel DDR400 support and it has done it. Although we don't find that it brought major performance gains when operating in this mode, we do noticed that DDR400 performance is already here on the nForce2 board.
