The Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H is one of least expensive P965 Express motherboards out there. Onboard goodies include a PCI Express x1-based Gigabit network card and an Intel Azalia High Definition 7.1 channel audio codec. Upgrades are possible through a PCI Express x1, x4 and x16 slot, and three 32 bit PCI slots. You can install a maximum of 8GB of DDR2-800 memory into the system while running in a dual channel configuration, and the motherboard supports all Socket 775 processors, from the lowly Celeron D to the flagship Core 2 Extreme and can run with FSB's of 533, 800 and 1066 MHz.

All-in-all the Foxconn P9657AA-8KS2H is a solid board for anyone looking to upgrade to what is now arguably the fastest platform for almost any task, provided you got the right CPU of course. With the low prices of the Pentium D, it would be a great complement for an entry level machine with great potential for cheap Core 2 Duo upgrading in the future. What?s more, despite this being a mainstream part, the board is bundled with software that?s actually useful in keeping your hardware up-to-date without sacrificing stability and all the overclocking features are available for getting more out of your machine.
