After reading the “Albatron vs. EPoX” article I felt the need to signup for the TT forums and ask a few questions. Currently I am looking at upgrading to the AMD Athlon64 platform and in doing so I need a decent motherboard to support this processor. I have been reading just about every review I can find on the net and being a fellow Australian I am looking mainly at Australian reviews (although there aren’t many). Anyway, at the top of my list for boards to check out is the Albatron K8X800 Pro II mainly because it boasts the VIA Envy PT audio controller. After reading the Albatron vs. EPoX K8T800 article I have been left very confused.
Personally, I believe this to be a highly inaccurate review that should not have been published. I refuse to believe there is something like a 3000pt difference between the Albatron and EPoX boards. For reasons most users will already know about there should be very little difference between these two boards. Every other review showed results that strongly contradict those found in the TT review. Then there are the gaming results that seem to be pretty much spot on. There is like a one frame per second difference between the two boards in some of the game tests but 3000 odd points in 3Dmark2001 SE.
The writer of this review Shawn also needs to learn how to “write”, the right way. His reviews are fricken impossible to read, the sentences just don’t flow. For christ sake some of the damn paragraphs are full sentences. Basically, what I am trying to say this review on TT is a disgrace and should be removed, it’s written poorly and the results are completely inaccurate.
