Foxconn is actually the registered trade name for Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd.. Foxconn is a major player in a number of different areas including Optical Storage, Workstations, Servers, and of course, Motherboards among others. The parent company, Hon Hai Precision Industry, was established in 1974 and has since gone public on the Taiwan Stock Exchange back in 1991. They have now opened production facilities in China, Scotland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States. They have become one of the largest manufacturers of connectors and cable assemblies on the planet for use in PCs. As you can see, Foxconn has a purebred heritage that stretches back a long way.



It is this heritage that has Foxconn delivering affordable, quality, award-winning products around the globe. Today we look at the first motherboard to cross the pages of in a little over two months, the Foxconn NF4SK8AA-8EKRS from their WinFast line of motherboards. This particular motherboard happens to be at the top of the pile that Foxconn offers, running the NVIDIA nForce 4 chipset. This offering from Foxconn features full SLI mode, 6 total SATA/300 connections on two different controllers, 10 potential USB 2.0 connections and Dual GbE LAN, just to name a few. I am looking forward to examining this motherboard and its complete list of features, so let's get started.
