Hey all, I was wondering what you guys might think about using this FOXCONN X38A motherboard with a E8400(wolfdale).http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10007545

I choose this FOXCONN one because I heard it supports SLI, also because it has DDR3 and DDR2 slots. It pretty much has everything else I would need in a motherboard. My main specs for picking a Mobo were supporting the new Wolfdales of course, and that it would have 2 x16 PCIe slots or more. I know the X38 boards arent suppose to support SLI right now, but I heard this FOXCONN one is able to. Any suggestions or ideas from anyone would be appreciated, or just let me know what you think about this mobo in general.

That x38 board runs at 1333mhz fsb natively instead of the typical 1600mhz on x38 chipset. I guess it doesn't matter if you don't overclock, but still, it's not a good sign. I'm not sure about sli, but it's unlikely. x38 is perfectly capable of sli, but FOXCONN would be sued by Nvidia if they add sli support. The specs on that site says 4 PCIEx16 slots, but the picture only shows 3. That site seems fishy.

 

Consider buying a Gigabyte, Abit, or Asus x38 board.
