AMD VIA Motherboards

VIA is not to be forgotten in a time when NVIDIA and Intel are the most frequently heard names in motherboards (and technology, in general, it would seem.) AOpen shows that they haven't forgotten Via with their AK86-L board. Its Spartan and dark appearance shouldn't fool you as this board shows us what can be done with little more than an Athlon 64 and a hunger for performance. With the latest BIOS flash, the AK86-L can tweak nearly any and every option known to enthusiasts while giving everything it's got at stock speeds for the average consumer. After earning Editor's Choice status only a couple of months ago, we are hard-pressed to find a better board when it comes down to value, quality and performance.

    "deal with it" said the store owner as he ran his customers out of his business with a pitchfork.

    BornStar18: It ain't your browser, it's not working for the rest of us either I do believe.

    KristophorKublikhan: We don't mind "little bugs" (as you call them - though I don't understand how not displaying most of the content of a lead article is a 'little' bug), what we do mind is:
    1) Taking 2+ days to fix them.
    2) Telling us it's _all_ fixed when it's clearly not.

    Thank god you don't work in QA for anything important.

    The motherboard sections still don't work for me. The processor stuff works fine. I'm now in FireFox .9.1

    Wow this great new layout really lends itself to responsive admins.

    We get Anand's daily blog updates on the front page but they can't even see that there's comments on their #3 article.
