Introduction: 

   FOXCONN has been in the motherboard arena for about 30 years. Much of what I knew about them before the NForce 4 motherboards was limited to the professional desktop systems. Their products were quite common among local office client systems. Their solutions worked well and didn't require spending a lot of money to ensure productive workstations and servers.

   Their image has been changing more and more with each motherboard release in to the enthusiast market. With that being said, FOXCONN sent something new and jet black for scrutiny and testing that has changed what we knew about them. Read on and you'll see why!
