Motherboards

A total of six boards with the Nforce5 chipset have already reached our lab; they will soon be tested and reviewed in another article. It's conspicuous that the voltage regulator has up to six phases, depending on the motherboard, to properly handle the higher power dissipation. At launch time there'll be enough boards in all shapes and sizes available - something for everyone.
