looks good
5.1 audio daughter card(nf4 audio is its weakpoint IMO)
Rock stable at stock
Stable voltages(not alot of fluctuating)
Northbridge has good placement(If you read around people are having trouble using aftermarket heatsinks/waterblocks due to vid card interference.)
Temps appear to be accurate.(**update there are reported issues of temps innacurate after third reboot after resetting bios**)
Pci and Pci-E locks are working

cons
Max vdimm 1.85
an8 and fatality max vcore 1.75 with winnie 1.85 with newcastle(If anybody reaches higher without mods let me know ill update this)
floppy ide is not a desirable location

If anyone is wondering why I'm including both boards just look at the pics. It looks like the same pcb layout and I believe the boards are identical minus NF4 ultra chip and I believe that the fatality bios will work on this. If it doesnt i will start a seperate thread on AN8.
Anyone with Issues please feel free to post as I will eventually start a AN8 Bugs tips tricks mods thread as we get more info.

Max clock to date on fatality an8
3500+ @ 2550 memory topped out at 255(note this just may be memories max not boards)
Max clock to date on vanilla an8
3200+ @ 2350 10X235 cpu topped out at 240(note this may be cpu's max not the boards)
Max Htt at this time with fatality an8 is 375.
Edit
some new additions

Max stable fsb reached to date is 385mhz async
Max fsb into windows 399mhz to date
Cpu multiplier 5x is buggy and unstable( i booted at 6X385 and 4X385 fine 5x cpu multi would not work I'm attributing this to the fact this is the multi AMD has reserved for there cool and quiet technology.)
