UK Conclusion
Foxconn A690GM2MA-8KRS2H is a good motherboard. It would be perfect for an HTPC, if it had an HDMI port, but as it is, there are other motherboards with the AMD 690G chipset more suited for this. However, there is a DVI port, and this makes it very well suited for a small regular PC, since you can connect an LCD monitor just like that. Furthermore, the motherboard works and performs well, and it can even overclock a bit. So if it satisfies your needs, it's a fine board.
Innovation/Technology: 5 – AMD 690G is one of the best chipsets, I have ever encountered. Though its performance is good, it isn't built for high performance, but for HTPC, and for this purpose, it is just perfect. It has the best integrated graphics ever, with an OK performance and AVIVO, and it supports HDMI and other TV-outs, if the motherboard manufacturer chooses to use it. It is now possible to build a decent HTPC without having to buy a graphics card.
Bundle/Accessories: 1 – A very weak bundle. You could really do with manual, even if it was just a PDF one on the bundled CD.
Design/Layout: 3 – Nothing wrong here, the design is nothing special, but the again, it's hard to do much in this little space. The motherboard's layout is a success, and it's easy to access everything. However, there is no Firewire and no HDMI, although there is a DVI port. But it would have been nice to see all three things.
Software/BIOS: 3 – There isn't a lot of software, but it works well. BIOS is more or less, as it should be, but I miss more options – in a small computer, it would be nice to be able to give the CPU less voltage, so that it would run cooler. The BIOS is fairly easy to navigate in, but not easy enough when you don't have a manual.
Performance: 4 – Standard performance on the Foxconn A690GM2MA-8KRS2H is fine, and the onboard graphics is very good. Considering the small form factor, overclocking is ok, too. If the board coulc give extra voltage to the CPU, it could have been perfect.
Price: 4 – The price for Foxconn A690GM2MA-8KRS2H is around 600 Danish kroner, which is cheap, but not cheap enough for a top grade here. There are other and cheaper motherboards with the AMD 690G chipset.
