Hexus.net has posted a review on the Aopen Ax3s Motherboard.
Intel motherboards had been having a hard time in the world of home system builders recently. With the disastrously high price of Rambus RDRAM and the horrible latency with their Band-Aid fix, the MTH (Memory Translator Hub), the whole Intel 820 chipset never really took off.

The gradual transition to the 133 FSB is making use of BX boards a bit risky. In the case of my old BE6 which wouldn´t run stable above 120 FSB Combined with the lack of a 1/2 AGP divider, the BX boards days are number, even if their performance is top-notch.
