INTRODUCTION
If the buzz and excitement over the new nForce4 boards coming out is any indication of how successful NVIDIA's new chipset will be, then we just might have another nForce2 on our hands. If you wanted the best in Athlon XP performance and overclocking, you looked towards NVIDIA and one of its partner's nForce2 solutions. It's a safe bet that NVIDIA and its partners hope the same happens with the Athlon 64 and its nForce4. No doubt, many enthusiasts are pumped up about SLI, but there's a lot more than SLI to be excited about, including NVIDIA Firewall and RAID.
First up on the nForce4 chopping block is Foxconn's NF4UK8AA-8EKRS motherboard, which uses the nForce4 Ultra chip. It is of course a socket 939 board that supports Athlon 64 and 64 FX processors. Additionally, the NF4UK8AA-8EKRS supports a single PCI Express graphics card, gigabit LAN, eight USB 2.0 ports, 7.1 channel audio and up to 4GB of DDR400 memory. Read on to see just how well this Foxconn nForce4 board performs.
