certified 300FSB 865PE board
 

Albatron 865PE Pro II

Sounds very believable, albatron has already proved to make high quality Intel boards with their overclockable 845PE series.


I hope these boards will be dirt cheap too. :D

don't think so...

Albatron aims more at high-quality products. They have a quality-imago, so prices wont be low. (btw, Albatron was found by Mr Jack Ko. who left Gigabyte, has a lot of experience in mobo-matters)

*make no mistake : AsRock is the budget-line of Asus, not Albatron

I know, that mistake is made often.

Their 845PE series was dirt cheap, why wouldn't their 865PE be?

-edit-

A pitty albatron is sooo hard to find in the benelux. :(

In germany:
Albatron 865PE: 115 eur :woot:
Albatron 865PE Pro II: 180 eur :/

The cheap no-nonsense version seems to be an awesome buy: S-ATA, 10/100mbit lan, 6ch sound (all i need).

@Richba5tard : well, txl to correct that..

:9 cheap idd for such quality

That review was interesting. I only wish they paired the board against ABit's offerings. Thank's for the additional info on Albatron Dial_up. I didn't know Albatron was founded by an ex-Gigabyte employee. What's ironic, is the board is feature rich and seems to be a quality product similiar to Gigabyte, however; unlike Giagbyte offers some very nice overclocking options.

Seems like Mr. Ko builds some quality products, but also caters to the needs of the enthusiast/overclocker. Very feature rich BIOS.

My cousin has an Albatron Ti4200 GF4 vidcard, which spec's some quality high-speed memory. Looks like ALbatron is a company I'll be taking a closer look at. I'd been following their graphicfcards, I'd only wished they'd had a ATI design. Now I'll be looking more closely at their Motherboards due to this post. Thanks for the info people!
:hello:

read this over @ Anandtech

I've send an email yesterday to their sales department and got a reply less then 8 hours later! all the others I wrote either didnt respond or it took them 3-5 days :)

OMFG! Macci has his albatron running SuperPi at 350Mhz FSB!!!

Seems to be an very good motherboard to match with a 2.4C. :)
