Today I’m glad to present the first AMD Athlon 64 Socket 754 test after more than 20 AMD Socket A motherboard tests. I’d like to start the Athlon 64 test series with a very cheap motherboard, the ASRock K8S8X, which also was the very first motherboard to achieve the ocinside.de Overclocking Pricetip award. The list of features which this motherboard offers and its overclocking abilities are definitely worth being read, especially (but not only) for those who are new to the AMD Athlon 64 technology.
