FOXCONN 975X7AB-8EKRS2H (LGA775) Motherboard Review @ Virtual-Hideout
Published: Monday, October 30, 2006 | By: Dennis"The board's design and layout are well thought out making it very nice to work with. Configuring the motherboard and its BIOS are simple and easy to understand. The more avid over clocker who wants access to every option will find the current BIOS some what limiting which can easily change with future updates."
The Foxconn 975X7AB appears to be rather popular this month. -

Published: Monday, October 30, 2006 | By: DennisHere is another one.
"The motherboard that reigns at the top of Foxconn’s list for Intel processors is the 975X7AB. The board offers all the bells and whistles of the 975X chipset for about hundred dollars cheaper than most and offers a lot of performance to boot. Well, it's time to see how well the 975X7AB stacks up against the rest." -

ECS KA3MVP Extreme Motherboard @ Legit Reviews
Published: Monday, October 30, 2006 | By: DennisNow here is a strange sight, ECS doing performance and with a bright purple motherboard to boot. This reminds me a little of the Soltek “Violet Eyes" motherboard from the way back. (which I still have btw)
"When it comes to high-end, uber-overclocking, record-breaking motherboard manufacturers, you usually do not think about the ECS. ECS has been a huge OEM for many years, and has never really produced anything that would be considered top-dog as far as performance goes. They did have the K7S5A that may bring back alot of memories (good and bad) for those that have been in the overclocking scene for awhile. I went through a few of those boards myself! Today, we have the ECS KA3MVP Extreme motherboard to look at. ECS touts this board, as the name suggests, as an MVP board and they say it is extreme. Well, let's take a look at the board and see if it is all that!" -
ABIT Fatal1ty AN9 32X Motherboard Review @ Motherboards
Published: Monday, October 30, 2006 | By: Dennis"ABIT has done a wonderful job with the Fatal1ty AN9 32X board. The board scored over 40 points on our features scoring system, with SLI, Firewire and other features making it one of the most feature-rich boards on the market. Performance was on a par with other boards on this chipset with the default clock speed, but the overclocking was very good on the board making it an excellent choice for people that want the absolute best."
I'm not sure about their scoring system but I must say that this is a very sweet looking motherboard. -
TWIN2X2048-6400C4D DOMINATOR Memory Delivers Innovative Features including Dual-Path Heat Xchange
Published: Monday, October 30, 2006 | By: DennisCorsair is at it again with an patent pending design.
"Corsair’s patent pending DOMINATOR printed circuit board and 4-layer heat sink design offers superior heat dissipation than standard heat spreaders thanks to the DHX technology. It substantially increases the memory module’s thermal dissipation so that the heat generated by the RAM cells can be more efficiently removed from the module via two paths. RAMs that run at lower temperatures enjoy improved performance and extended reliability. Available in 2GB kits, the new TWIN2X2048-6400C4D is fully optimized to deliver rock solid stability."

Foxconn 975X7AB-8EKRS2H Motherboard Review Posted
Published: Monday, October 30, 2006 | By: DennisThe layout of this motherboard is very well designed with quite a bit of detail given to making room for two monster video cards. Of course if you don't have two monster video cards you'll get to use the abundance of expansion slots otherwise you'll likely be down to a single 1x PCI Express slot and one regular PCI.

Quad SLI under the microscope at TR
Published: Thursday, October 19, 2006 | By: Dennis"OVER THE PAST few years, we've seen an incredible number of extreme hardware solutions marketed to PC gamers: graphics cards that cost over five hundred bucks, thousand-dollar "Extreme Edition" CPUs, motherboards with more ports than Dubai, custom physics processors, and now even a "killer" NIC. Without a doubt, though, the most extreme of all of these offerings has to be Nvidia's vaunted Quad SLI."
I would agree, just the thought of 4 GPUs all working together for gaming goodness brings joy to all of the rich kids of the world. -
NinjaForum Back Online
Published: Thursday, October 19, 2006 | By: DennisIt would seem that the crazy "extra space" issue when using never version of PHP cropped up again, but after some crafty debugging the issue was traced down and resolved.
As the title suggests the forum is back open for business.

Ninjalane Message Forum Down
Published: Sunday, October 15, 2006 | By: DennisHello everyone just a quick note saying that the forum will be down for awhile, I'm doing some updates that should stop the crazy ass robot registrations. I also figured it would be a good idea to update to the latest version too (which means all of the other mods have to be reinstalled as well)
The system should be back up shortly.
