Since socket isn't the latest socket form factor, driver support from win98 - winXP, 32bit only, seems to be all that's on offer here.
All times are GMT Finishing review Compaq Aem: However I don't see the need for the division between Plus and Pro, just for the sake of minor board adjustments like the inclusion of sata. Il just outlay some specifications, that may provide more insight than online sellers offer, with opinions provided.
Each other header connection was a bit more difficult to get to than usual. The location of the 4-pin CPU connector is a bit different as well.
While this doesn't affect the current user, for other main system users, 2GB could be a hindrance, as well as single channel support.
Full driver download support can be obtained off the Foxconn website by clicking here. Choose the Plus and you will be limited to two IDE connectors and a floppy connector. Rather than scrapping a perfectly running computer you will want a solid motherboard. Very light reading, unlike a full manual, but with every possible bit of information you could need for installation of the motherboard. Foxconn MX Plus Socket Here is another motherboard review, trying to keep the same format as past ones, so it may help others seeking an impartial opinion.
However I have given it a good run and testing before handing it to them. This just makes things a bit more difficult than some other boards. If you're currently looking at Socket boards you'll appreciate the range is limited to less than a few boards.
Finally I do like the space around the chipsets. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below. The time now is If you've got a PSU with a freakishly short 4-pin lead, then you might have problems.
Foxconn MX PLUS
coxconn The main difference between the Plus board which I am reviewing and the Pro board is sata support. There is alot of breathing room and space especially by the northbridge. Be very careful, as you don't want to stretch it near the CPU heatsink fan an unintentionally snip a few wires!
With the Pro, you will also find you have two sata ports available, which would be quite welcome.
With this board, I had to use tweezers for each wire on the audio block. You may laj to register before you can post: Many may snort at this, but when you have all your PCI slots occupied and maybe even a side case fan, the extra room will allow for plenty of airflow.
However driver installation was alot less pain free than some other boards.
This is set to open by default. I'm not a large guy, but most of the time I can plug in audio front panel leads by hand. Full pin diagrams with motherboard photos from USB headers to front panel connectors mean 661mmxplus even a child could connect all the cabling.

You would hope this would make the choice a bit easier, however chances are you're not building a new system and replacing a failed motherboard, perhaps a Gigabyte board like the last few I've personally replaced.
Foxconn MX Plus Socket However finding the Pro version wasn't a possibility. For the Williamette CPU you will need to set this with a jumper to short. Last edited by wh; at Not a big surprise, but beware of this before a purchase that driver support for Vista or 64 bit may not be available.
