We come across motherboards with two PCIEx16 graphics slots more and more often of late. At first, these were models supporting SLI from NVIDIA, then there appeared a counterpart from ATI - CrossFire. Among other things, these two technologies shared one common peculiarity: as a rule, they were implemented on top motherboards, rarely on Middle-End models, thus they were available only to those users who could afford these expensive solutions. But we have recently published a review of an EPoX motherboard with sterling SLI support, but designed for the budget AMD socket (Socket 754). Today we are going to review a peculiar product from Albatron, which can boast of neither a latest chipset nor additional functionality or good bundle. It makes Albatron PX915P-2V much cheaper than top models. A single advantage of this motherboard lies in SLI support. Thus, in our opinion, this product has a limited target audience. But it will do for a system with two inexpensive video cards. After all, without SLI support it's a regular budget motherboard. In this case, the second PCIEx16 slot comes free of charge.
