Express chipset.

Testing -
SiSoft Sandra
Benchmarking will be
accomplished by using SiSoft Sandra. As far as performance settings go,
it just doesn't get any better than the ABIT AA8. Besides the normal bus
speed locks, the AA8 has a CPU to Memory ratio setting that works
incredibly well. I'll start out at a ratio of 1:1 and work my way up to
3:4.
