Foxconn ELA P45 Motherboard Review


Wed 2008-12-10 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
X-bit Labs have just reviewed the featured-filled Foxconn ELA motherboard, which is based on the Intel P45 Express chipset.

Here's what they had to say:

"As you may have already understood, our impression of Foxconn ELA mainboard is not very positive. The attitude to this board could be calm, neutral, interested or even excited only if you look at it from a distance. Once you get your hands on this solution and try working with it, then numerous problems and issues cause nothing but frustration. The mainboard is inhumanly severe, almost any settings change leads to CMOS clearing. The only possibility here is to leave everything at defaults, however, you shouldn’t expect the board to automatically pick the most optimal settings either. At this point, we really couldn’t figure out what they needed to come up with unique design, additional jumper sets and BIOS settings, if none of this actually works?"


It's quite evident that Foxconn's engineers spent a considerable amount of time designing this motherboard, and it is regrettable that it is ultimately let down by a poor bios. Hopefully, they won't give up on this product because it could possibly rank as one of the top high-end P45 motherboards.
