"AMD64 platforms offer high-end performance in both the 32-bit and 64-bit areas, with the Athlon 64 providing a mainstream alternative to the enthusiast-level Athlon 64 FX-51, and allowing a more economical option for interested buyers. The platform selection is the real question, and for Socket 754 Athlon 64-based systems, the VIA K8T800 has emerged as the overall performance champ. These high-end K8T800 motherboards offer an incredible combination of top performance and very attractive prices, and this area has experienced significant growth over the past few months. Today we're taking a look at one of the most popular K8T800 motherboards, the ASUS K8V Deluxe, and putting it through the standard usage, design and performance tests."
