AMD takes shine to new Asus mobo

Initial results show the board 'comfortably outperforms' the present flavour of the month, the Gigabyte GA7DX Rev 4.0 which uses AMD's own 760 chipset.

The chipmaker currently recommends the GA7DX by including it on its list of approved mobos and the upcoming approval of a board using a rival chipset to its home-grown 760 shows a commendable lack of bias from AMD.

Although still to make an appearance on Asus' website, the Socket A A7V266 features three DDR slots, AGP4X, five PCI slots and is due for launch 'any day now'. We hope to be getting our hands on one RSN. µ
