Although thats a lot of technical data, the points of interest include the adjustable frequency in 1 MHz incriments, Adjustable Vcore, VAGP, VMemory, and a total of three IDE connectors. It looks like Albatron built a board that is not only expandable, but also includes all the latest technology. Audio buffs will love the 8 channel onboard sound, and storage fans will enjoy the ability to create raid arrays in both SATA and IDE flavors. Hardcore gamers aren't left out with the PCI Express x16 and last but not least budget minded consumers are left with an upgrade option that affords speed, features, and a clear transition path to PCI Express while not having to flip the bill for an LGA 775 process if they already have a P4 478 cpu.
It would see that the Albatron Mars Px915P4/G4 Pro is a board for the overclocker in all of you. The socket478 with FSB 800+ MHz is a real performer with a lot of options.
Lets take a look at testing.
