PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

The name Albatron only a year ago would have drawn out the question "Who is Albatron?" or "Albatron what?" Today, the word Albatron used in conjunction with motherboard or videocard is known by most computer hardware manufacturers, dealers, reviewers and consumers. How did they get their name spread across the hardware community so fast? Well, the old fashioned way. They produced high quality peripherals that performed exceptionally well while being aggressively priced. If only the rest of the hardware manufacturers in this specific genre would follow the same flight line. Before they entered the market, "high performance" came with the "high price" tag. I respect the fact that Albatron turned the table, went against the market trend and made high performance computing not quite as expensive.

To celebrate their one year anniversary, Albatron has released a limited anniversary edition motherboard, the PX845PEV-800 which boasts some impressive capabilities, let's see if it lives up to them.
