"We definitely recommend PCI Express for anyone considering purchasing a new PC, and also for those users contemplating a complete system makeover. Most of the boards in stores are nForce4 based, and both the Gigabyte K8NXP and the K8N Neo2 from MSI performed well."

Hummmm OK. Toms is on crack, they recommend buying the Abit or Soltek when the Neo2 is the leading board in almost every test.....and this based on the backpanel of the VIA chipset?!?!?! VIA offers hardly a thing compared to Nf boards that implement all the features.

Right, it is quite obvious that this review was written very hastily and includes many mistakes and inaccuracies. For example, from the ASUS A8N-SLI section: "The chipset features a sound system, a 1 Gbit network controller, four SATA connectors, two UltraATA/100 channels and a whopping ten USB 2.0 ports." There are actually 2 gigabit ethernet ports (not just one), the SATA is version 2 300MB/s (they forgto to mention that I guess), and the UltraATA controller is 133 MB/s (not 100). And no kidding about the "sound system" - does the board really have one ? what a surprise.
