The Intel 975X platform offers a very competitive gaming platform when compared to the NVIDIA nForce 4 Intel Edition SLI. The performance of the Intel D975XBX is at or near the top or bottom in the benchmarks. We repeated our test suites several times, but the scores remained consistent. It is obvious that the board has potential, and in the areas where we can track the minimum and maximum frame rates, the board was extremely consistent in its averages.

    "Bad Axe" is also a city in the state of Michigan.

    That they chose to call this (or anything else) "Bad Axe" will be both the funniest and saddest thing I read all day.

    I think it's a play off of "Bad Ass" - say it fast and "axe" sounds a lot like "ass" to me. Basically, it was a codename from Intel designed to sound cool. Love it or hate it, that's what they used. Intel has geeks working there too, it seems! :)

    I really wanted this board to be a SLI-screamer. I guess that is not the case. Next processor will be an AMD.
