ABIT NV8 the Sempron's Best Friend
ABIT NV8 Intro
The ABIT brand of motherboards is very well-known for massive overclockability. And as
they are aimed squarely at the middle to high end DIY market, they naturally don't come
cheap. The market, however, needs products from all segments, starting from affordable
entry-level to pricey feature-rich high-end. For more price-sensitive users, there are also high
price-performance items such as this ABIT NV8 motherboard.
Found at Newegg.com at a price below $80, this Abit motherboard represents an immense
value as we don't detect any discounts in functionality or quality. And that makes it the
Socket 754 processor's best friend and really good news for users who are currently
contemplating building a Sempron (Socket 754) system. These users want price and
respectable levels of performance, and this motherboard has got both.
As we already know, there isn't really an obvious performance gap between the Socket 754
and Socket 939 Athlon 64 processors. This motherboard can therefore be used to erect a
high-performance Athlon 64 computing platform. As such, it isn't entirely fair to call the
Socket 754 a low-mid-range choice. With ABIT's industry-leading overclocking technologies,
this motherboard can therefore be used to erect a high-performance Athlon 64 computing
platform.
The above is an officially-supplied shot of the NV8 motherboard.
