Foxconn 925XE7AA-8EKRS2

     Wow, that is a long name isn't it! Irregardless, Foxconn has really impressed us at the club with their newest offering based on the Intel 925 chipset. This board is a fine specimen of computer hardware, and just like previous Foxconn motherboards, has pretty much everything you could possibly want, and they also threw in some voltage options! That's right ladies and gentlemen, Foxconn is learning from us overclockers that test and review their stuff, and the nicest thing about it is that we get to watch Foxconn literally evolve into a board manufacturers capable of being reckoned with...
