Sapphire company known as a particularly approximate ATI partners. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that it has produced one of the first motherboards to the ATI Radeon 9100IGP chipset (RS300).

Exactly a year ago, we tested the charge of the company. That was Sapphire A4-A985 at the chipset Ati A4, and now look at Axion AA38L.Since then, production ATI chipsets become more attractive to its ability. It is so attractive that even some first-tier manufacturers fired on board RS300 (Radeon 9100IGP). In particular, we tested Asus P4R800-VM and Gigabyte 8TRS300M.

But the company is far from Sapphire fact that prior to the first, a long way from the second tier. This can be seen as a quantifiable (sales), and quality. About the last note that the site is pretty sparse section on the maternal cards. For example in the description of our Boards section with no BIOS updates, no user manual in pdf file. Moreover name of the site itself is not specified either in the box or the manual (it is said nevnimatelnostineopytnosti illustrators).

However, if we look at the functionality of Axion AA38L Boards, we can note progress Sapphire company in the production of motherboards.

Virtually all the criticism that arose during the review of the charges related to the chipset, and more specifically to its southern bridge ATI IXP150. Its functionality considerably less chips Intel ICH5 and VIA VT8237 (more - in the "extensions").
But the quality of construction fees and stability at an altitude proved that the credit companies Sapphire.
