ABIT AN8-32X nForce4 SLI x16 motherboard review

The nForce4 SLI x16 chipset is a small evolutionary step above the nForce4 SLI chipset that we all known and love. With the help of the C51D Northbridge, the nForce4 SLI x16 allows two nVIDIA videocards to run in SLI mode with each card able to access 16 PCI Express lanes. It may not make much of a difference right now, but as future generation PCI Express videocards start to chew up more bandwidth it will.

With a retail price of $208 CDN ($178 USD, $102 GBP), the ABIT AN8 32X motherboard is aggressively priced compared to other nForce4 SLI x16 motherboards, and that gives it an edge. The ABIT AN8 32X has all the hardcore options overclockers expect, and is a great alternative to the usual DFI dominated based Athlon64 setups.
