Foxconn is a proportional newcomer to the commercial CPU board market, but they are no more foreign to the industry.Similar we described when we surveyed the Foxconn 875A02, they accept been developing computer components for rather a long time, but mostly as a element maker for dissimilar OEMs.With the constructing facilities already in place, it was a logical progress to move immediately into the retail channel and reap approximately of the monetary gains of selling elements below their own brand name.


Our 1st go through with Foxconn was with the above remarked board grounded on Intel's established i875 "Canterwood" chipset. This time approximately we accept a appear at some other of Foxconn's introductions in the form of the 755A01-6EKRS. This board was planned with the Athlon sixty-four in mind, provided by the predicting SiS755 Chipset. There has been a lot of speak of how the SiS755 chipset is a functioning powerhouse, so normally we were eager to test a retail-ready board grounded on this chipset for ourselves.

Opposing the SiS755 versus VIA's market dominant K8T800 should be a beneficial test to assure how only how beneficial the SiS755 chipset is.Lets accept a appear and assure what the Foxconn 755A01-6EKRS brings to the demonstrate.The package is totally devoid of outdated games and other empty "lures", rather extending a small collection of hardware and software. To beginning off, the package arrivesa with an oversize diagram of the board with its key elements clearly marked for easy recognition.


The User's stick shift was rather thoroughgoing in its breakdown of data.Additionally, a manual was supplied that solely covered SATA RAID install.From a complimentary hardware position, Foxconn admitted the bare necessities admitting a custom I/O shield, 1 Floppy and 1 80 - conductor IDE cable, two SATA cables and a power adapter that becomes 1 Molex connector into 2 SATA power plugs.
