Recently, we covered the performance differences between Athlon 64 chipsets
and found performance differences to be negligible, which is why this motherboard
round up doesn't contain a single benchmark. If you would like information on
performance, we recommend reading the chipset performance analysis article.
All of the motherboards in this round up are good boards and will suit anyone
building a new machine, or upgrading an old one. The question, is finding the
one that suits your needs and budget the best. We have awarded a few choice
motherboards, which can be seen below marked with an asterisk. This may help
in your decision making process.
Lastly, on the final
page of this round up, there is a summary table with specifications, prices
and stockists of all these boards which gives an excellent overview.
So without any further ado, lets get on to the boards. We have ten boards in
this round up, all for the Socket 754 Athlon 64 platform.
