Foxconn 945G7AD Motherboard
1. Introduction
Foxconn recently shipped a new series of motherboards, supporting Core2Duo chipsets, with an integrated VGA chipset onboard. While this may not be the fastest motherboard around, we are eager to see how well it performs with the 945G/ICH7R chipset combination. We will of course be comparing this motherboard with other motherboards based on the 965/975 chipsets.
