Stability & Compatibility
You can review our stability/compatibility testing methods here.
Stability was never an issue as everything ran without flaw and I probably could have pushed the CPU a little farther than 115MHz if I had used a better cooling solution. There is nothing but dust left in the wake of P4S8X. Performance wise this is a tough act to follow.
Performance
Oh yeah this is one fast cat and can seriously hold its own in this platform being one of the best performers seen to date. I was quite satisfied with the results that the P4S8X was able to achieve with the hard drives currently available and can't wait to se what it can do when the new ATA150 drives come out.
