AMD has been on the back-end with its current
architecture processors since Intel brought us Core 2. For over four years now
AMD has had to play catch up and it seems that every good thing has to come to
an end. But while AMD has lost the performance crown to Intel, the Phenom II
based processors are extremely cost effective, as are their supporting boards.
On the chopping block we have the new PURE CrossFireX 790GX based board
using AMD’s newest chipset designed for AM2+ and AM3 processors, this being the
790GX. How well will this board compare to our already tested MSI Dragon
reference board? – Let’s find out. @ Tweaktown
