FIC SD-11 AMD 750/VIA 686A Slot-A ATX

The Bad

With revision 1.8, FIC has eliminated most of our original complaints about the SD-11. The following complaints, however, still stand:

While Athlon motherboards in general are extremely sensitive to the quality of the power supply used, thanks to the CPU's high current draw, the FIC SD-11 is extremely sensitive to the PSU used. While AMD has a recommended power supply list, FIC has had to trim this list considerably and produced their own list of power supplies compatible with the SD-11.

Since the board is quite large, it may not fit in smaller ATX cases.
