TweakTown posted a review on the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe 790FX Motherboard



It seems of late Intel has stolen the spotlight well away from AMD and with the performance results of not only the Core 2 Duo and Quads based on the Penryn cores, but also the new Core i7, this has really put AMD on the back foot. This however hasn’t stopped them from pushing forward and while Phenom II isn’t all that we’d hoped for, it certainly does have its place, namely in the low cost PC/HTPC and cheaper gaming station markets.

Boards are still coming out for the new AM3 based CPUs and since they now support DDR2 and DDR3 on the same CPU, AMD hasn’t cut its nose despite its face like they did with the transition from Socket 939 to AM2. The older generation of AMD users are still being catered for this time around.
