PC Stats has posted a FIC AU13 nForce2-ST Motherboard review



When we tested FIC's original nForce2 SPP motherboard the FIC AU11, we were extremely impressed with what we saw but found to be "bare" in terms of features. Well FIC must have taken our words to heart because their newly revised AU13 is much more "future friendly". With the nForce2 chipset now mature and extremely stable, it's obvious that anyone contemplating purchasing an AMD based system or new motherboard should only go with nVIDIA. In terms of onboard features the AU13 is pretty well equipped. The motherboard has 10/100 LAN, 5.1 audio, IEEE 1394, USB 2.0 (four on the back) and Serial ATA. If you find yourself needing more, the AU13 has six 32 bit PCI expansion slots and of course the lone 8x AGP port. The AU13 supports any current 200/266/333MHz FSB AthlonXP and even the upcoming 400 MHz Athlon as per FIC's website.
