Two 16x PCI express Slots, four DDR2-800 Slots up to 8 GB memory, six S-ATA II ports, ten USB 2.0 ports, two 1 Gigabit LAN connectors and wonderful OC features is not my list of wishes for Christmas, but rather the excellent equipment of the new Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H Socket AM2 motherboard. Without anticipating the result, this Socket AM2 board is a dream for overclocker, because this mainboard has as many OC options, that it would be possible to write dozens of OC guides. And overclocking an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor to 3000 MHz is really nice...

There is no doubt that this is an excellent motherboard. Inside the relatively anonymous box you'll find a sleak looking motherboard filled with features. The full nTune support is great and something I would like to see from all motherboards (ASUS, you listening?). It is also nice to get all those angled SATA-cables. Last but not least the motherboard performs excellent easily matching the ASUS AM2 motherboard. However, at the same time I cannot help feeling that the motherboard lacks some of the sophistication you get from for example the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. There's no color-coding of the various connectors, you get one(!) free fan-header and the floppy and GPU power connectors are being placed way off on the motherboard. You also don't really get anything extra with the motherboard as you do with most of ASUS motherboards.
