    [H] review the Albatron K8SLI

    HardOCP have reviewed Albatron's K8SLI motherboard... and absolutely slam it:
    The Albatron K8SLI is so plagued with bugs and configuration issues, there is no way we could recommend this motherboard to anyone. Two retail motherboards showed the same exact issues across two separate test setups. Albatron has some big problems with the K8SLI, make sure you don’t set yourself up for system issues and failure with this motherboard.
    Whoops!

    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    This is a alittle harsh for this board. I bought it before this review and I have had NO issues what so ever. I have A64 3000 Oced to 255 FSB at 1:1 HT at 3. 7800GT with raid 0. Not sure why they have such issues with it but I love it. I would recommend this board to anyone wanting a SLI setup. Price cant be beat!

    Hards' being quite harsh recently on review. They wrote an article about it recently - which a lot of review site really didn't like - very out of the loop. The proof of course is in the pudding - people need to buy this to see what its about.

    I too hae an Albatron MATX NF2 board in my backup system - runs a treat and certainly has some of the best overclocking features for a MATX board I have yet to see in an A64 MATX solution.
