Results for synthetic benchmarks
Gaming benchmarks:
Tests of application software
Video encoding (DivX, Xvid) was measured in seconds, i.e. the less the better.
Data compression (WinRAR) was measured in Kb/sec, i.e. the more, the better.
Final Words
Foxconn A7GMX-K is a cheap compact product that offers basic expansion options and has no visible shortcomings. On the moment of tests (early December, 2008), this motherboard cost about $70. That is quite an interesting offer if the user needs a powerful enough integrated graphics with no need for the vast expansion options.
The board supports Foxconn's proprietary technologies and utilities (Fox One, Live Update and Logo). Of special mention is the ease of use of the Live Update and Logo (the latter is best in its class!). As regards overclocking, the board allows overclocking both the CPU and the integrated video core. The capabilities in both cases are middling.
