Introduction:
We were fortunate to have some of our sponsors send us some new gear to upgrade our aging P4 Wyoming test rig. I’d like to welcome Foxconn as one of our new sponsors and thank them for providing us with the center piece for our new rig, the C51XEM2AA – AM2 motherboard.
Packaging:
The C51XEM2AA is Foxconn’s current flagship AM2 motherboard. The motherboard is nicely packaged with a sleeved box. The front of the box has simple yet attractive graphics and is not littered with logo’s, stickers, and technical jargon. The back of the box highlights the main features of the board and is again, not overly busy.
