From the review: Put simply, AMD Athlon 64 CPUs are the gaming CPUs of choice, as shown by the brief look at gaming results on the previous page. Buy yourself a competent S939 board and run with a mid-to-high-end Athlon 64 CPU instead. Either that, or invest in an SLI-capable motherboard for either platform! However, if you absolutely, positively want to run a decent Intel gaming platform, the ABIT Fatal1ty AA8XE remains a great choice.
