Computex`2004: Mobo Foxconn
Foxconn
Foxconn is known more as one of the largest OEM manufacturer of components. Prevailing in its assortment are LGA775 sockets (made by order from Intel), VGA, DVI patch plugs of all standards, and all the other plastic bijouterie used for the manufacture of motherboards. So the rumors of emerging the company on the retail market were taken with great surprise. The thing is, the profits made on the motherboard market is not large enough (this is not high-end products at a price about ~200$), and there are few incentives to get involved in the business.
In any case, we did visit the expo stand of Foxconn and familiarized ourselves with the company assortment. That was first the 925A01 model based on the i925X chipset.
Here are the brief specifications:
- Support for Socket LGA775 (800 FSB) processors
- Memory: 4 slots (two channels) for DDR2-533 (MAX 4Gb)
- RAID: 4 channels for SerialATA (RAID 0,1, 0+1)
- LAN: Gigabit Ethernet
- USB2.0: 8 ports
- Firewire: 2 ports
- PCI x16 Express Graphics: 1 slot
- PCI x1 Express: 3 slots
- "regular" PCI: 2 slots
- 6-channel integrated audio
The other two boards are built on the same PCD design but differ only in the chipset: the 915A03-P model is based on the i915P chipset,
whereas the 915A03-G model is built on the i915G chipset with integrated graphics core.
Both boards are intended for joint use with the DDR memory. Also note that both the boards offer six SerialATA channels each (which is greater than on the 925A01).
Besides, we saw various micro-ATX boards at the stand, as well as boards for barebone systems. For example, the 915P01-G model on the i915P chipset.
As regards motherboards for AMD processors, they were not there at the stand.
