Features

     The Foxconn has a very nice features set and there doesn't seem to be anything that it seems to be missing. SATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, Dual channel DDR, 400/533/800mhz P4 compatibility, etc, etc..

     The 87502 has a nice layout and as you can tell there wont be a problem of removing your AGP card to install your memory. Of course some may complain about the location of the ATX plug, but I prefer it away from the CPU as far as possible.

     The 87502 comes with a nice bundle as well.. It includes Norton Internet Security, and an assorted amount of utilities and and the required drivers. 2 SATA cables are included as well as a Molex to SATA power plug.

The Silicon Image RAID controller is evident in this pic, as well as, a voice type diagnosis.

Dual Channel DDR anyone? Notice the overall size of the 875 HSF.

The size of the heatsink on the 875 chipset should prove useful for overclocking, but as you'll soon see, this really isn't what you would call an overclocking board.

A simple thermal interface compound instead of paste. We cleaned this off and applied Arctic Silver.
