The guys over at Hexus take Asus K8T800 Pro board for a spin. ASUS has waved its deluxe wand over a socket-939 motherboard with encouraging results. Deluxe means a horde of useful goodies. ASUS obliges with Gigabit Ethernet, 54g Wireless, FireWire400, on-chip and discrete SATA and decent sound. Packaging and presentation is usual ASUS, that is, first class. We were also pleased to report that the board ran flawlessly with the strictest memory timings. Performance, as our graphs have shown, was excellent, so much so that S940 is firmly relegated into third place, behind our test 3800+ and the S939 FX-53. I still have my A7V from Asus, and they seem to have a touch for neat boards. While socket 939 motherboards aren't very cheap, but the CPU's are the deal breaker running around $500 for the low-end ones. Weather you have the cash or not, it's fun to take a look.
