Since we just took a look at the AMD CPU's, let us follow up with the AMD motherboards.
Last month we predicted the KT333 and KT400 boards would come down in
a price drastically. Unfortunately, it seems the laws of supply and demand are not
agreeing with motherboard resellers right now. We have seen about a 10%
decrease in prices since last month on VIA chipsets, but the resellers won't
be able to hold out forever. There is no reason for the KT400 boards to not dip
under 100USD within a few weeks. When the KT400 revision comes out in the upcoming
weeks, the original KT400/333 motherboards will be dirt cheap.
The stars of the AMD motherboard scene appear to be the nForce2 boards. It
seems as though the NForce2
chipsets rose to the top in no time, easily suppressing the competing KT400/333 chipset.
In price and performance, our choice of the week is again the EPoX 8RDA+. VIA
is loosing the battle over their traditional stomping grounds of AMD chipsets,
and it only took the NVIDIA 2 rounds to knock them out. Will the March release
of KT400A upset the balance? Only time will tell, but we have a pretty strong
feeling that nForce2 is going to stay on top for a while.
This week we are a little light on motherboards, but next week expect us to
have double the amount we have listed here. Please feel free to email me, kkubicki@anandtech.com
if you would like a particular motherboard to be added.
