With AMD moving to Socket-939 the days of Socket-754 seemed numbered. But the Sempron processor took over were the Athlon 64 left off and for those looking for an upgrade for their current Socket-754 Athlon 64, Asus has the complete solution. The K8N4-E Deluxe/Extreme N6600 is a motherboard and graphics card bundle which brings your Socket-754 processor in to the PCI Express era.
Let’s start with the motherboard. Deluxe tends to be a good thing in model names, as it means you’re getting all the trimmings. The K8N4-E Deluxe might be a low-end PCI Express board, but it’s far from a budget model. Asus is using the nVidia nForce4-4x chipset which offers all of the functionality of the nForce4 chipset, but with a couple of limitation.
