SOYO K7V Dragon Plus! Motherboard Review
The original Soyo Dragon was my favourite KT266 based motherboard, since it offered great performance coupled to a fantastic feature set. This new revision of the board features the updated KT266A chipset, but otherwise remains the same as the original. The VIA Apollo KT266A features an enhanced memory controller, designed with high performance in mind.

Iwill XP333-R Motherboard Review
Once upon a time, in a forum not so far from here, there was a discussion. "What would you design into your own ultimate motherboard?" I think Iwill read our discussion! The fact that the Iwill XP333-R features PC2700 support and ATA133 is not only refreshing, but also potential reality of motherboard heaven exceed our dreams!

Asus A7V333 (VIA KT333) Motherboard Preview
Today we've got a very special cake for you. Four weeks before the predicted launch we've got the chance to look over the shoulders of a prototype. Asus sent us a sample for preview and to find some issues with our incorrigible pedantism before the board gets to the customers. As a positiv side-effekt this results into the first preview of the A7V333 for you. So let's see.

Soltek SL-75DRV4 KT266a Motherboard
I was sitting in front of my computer when Discostu sends through the latest PR on Solteks new SL-75DRV4 motherboard, I opened the pdf to find the "Purple Ray" shining at me. The conversation went something like this:

DiscoStu: Soltek just offered us one of these boards to review
Rockboy: But its purple!!
DiscoStu: should be here in the next couple of days
Rockboy: But its purple!!
DiscoStu: I'll send it down to you if you want to do the reviewing
Rockboy: But it's purple!!
DiscoStu: So you don't want to review it??
Rockboy: What are you nuts, get that board down here good man

Abit KR7A-RAID KT266A Motherboard Review
Abit motherboards have a long history with the PC enthusiasts. The first to truly introduce the world to overclocking processors, Abit introduced many features that we see today as almost being standard. This includes the Soft-Bios options, RAID and others. While their volume of sales worldwide is not quite as impressive in comparison to others such as Asus and ECS, when you factor in their lack of OEM sales, the sales numbers are very good indeed.

Gigabyte GA-7VTXH Motherboard
I've never used a Gigabyte motherboard before, so when I was on the market for a KT266A based mobo, I didn't expect to pick one of these up. Gigabyte are no strangers to motherboards of course, and they've been around for a long time, and from what I've been hearing from others, their boards are of very good quality.

MSI K7D Master-L Motherboard
Ever since AMD Athlons and Durons were released, I've been asking myself ... will there be any manufacturer that will produce dual processor motherboards. Dual motherboards have been around for Intel processors longer than I can remember, from the very first dual Pentium Pros to the latest dual Pentium 4 Xeons. They have dominated the dual processor market for long time ... they were literally untouchable.

What's the benefit of a KT-333 board?
This must be why Soltek, Asus and other motherboard manufacturers are rushing out DDR-333 products but we're still a little puzzled as to what you get in performance terms if you've got one of these.

Tyan Tiger MPX ATX Dual Socket A Motherboard Review
Tyan has provided us with the 3rd dual Athlon board we have had to review. In fact since the Athlon MP was releases mid year in 2001 they are the only manufacturer able to provide us with a dual board for review. Tyan has certainly enjoyed this feat, and has taken a shot at several of the other motherboard makers that were attempting to design 760MP based boards using the VIA 686B Southbridge. As these makers learned, and Tyan pointed out, the VIA Southbridge was incompatible with the 762 Northbridge from AMD.

ECS K7S6A Motherboard
ECS K7S5A is a success with it's low price/performance ratio. Although there were lots of users complaining about stability problems. Most of it was resolved by the helpful readers in our ECS sector. As always, ECS is always one of the first to launch their boards based on new chipsets. K7S6A is just one of the newest products in the market featuring SiS745 chipset. While SiS745 does not differ much from the Sis735 except firewire and DDR333 support, K7S6A did not implement the Firewire feature on board.

Twelve Pentium 4 Motherboards With Intel's 845/Brookdale Chipset
Though hardly any home user would really buy a system based on Intel's high-tech Pentium 4 processor and the aging SDRAM, Intel chose to use this platform to introduce their flagship CPU to the mass market. The main problem that the chip giant has to fight against is the high price tag of the Pentium 4, plus Rambus DRAM (RDRAM), which is the only memory platform that can boost performance as fast as Athlon XP. In comparison to an Athlon system with Double Data Rate (DDR) memory, the Pentium 4 requires RDRAM (i850 chipset), or at least DDR memory to compete.

FIC AN11 "Stealth" Motherboard Review
I just finished putting up our review of the FIC AN11 "Stealth" Socket A DDR Motherboard. Here are some details, “When you consider all of the added features, attention to detail, great stability, great performance, and EXCELLENT price, it's hard NOT to award the FIC AN11 Stealth our highest honor.”

Iwill XP-333R v2.1 Motherboard
Some time back we had taken a look at an Engineering Sample of the Iwill XP-333-R Motherboard and were impressed by it. It was the first board to feature ATA-133 as well as DDR-333 support for the AMD platform- although "unofficially." Fast-forward today and we still don't have official DDR-333 support for the AMD platform, although both SiS with their 745 chipset and VIA with their KT-333 chipset will make it happen soon. Until that day, we have the Iwill XP-333 and today we've received the latest retail board versioned 2.1 from Iwill. Lets see if there are any improvements in the performance, stability or anything else that we test the board with.

FIC AN11 SocketA DDR Motherboard
It's been quite a while since we've touched a SocketA solution from FIC. Our last FIC review was the AD11 which was the first DDR SocketA motherboard we got our hands on. Luckily FIC contacted us to review their new AN11 SocketA board that utilizes the VIA KT266A chipset. We recently looked at the Soltek SL-75DRV2 motherboard which also utilizes the KT266A chipset so the timing couldn't be better for a direct comparison with the Soltek board.

Abit KR7A-RAID Motherboard
VIA's KT266A chipset has received a lot of positive press lately (we just reviewed EPoX's KT266A motherboard, the article can be read here) Being one of the fastest chipsets for AMD's processors it has been widely accepted by enthusiasts in all its incarnations.

ASUS A7A266-E Motherboard
Early Jan last year, we reviewed the ASUS A7A266. ASUS A7A266 was one of the first boards that supported DDR. In fact, it was one of the top performers in terms of disk performance and Content Creation. Year 2001 was indeed an exciting year for everyone, SiS735 overtook VIA KT266 and came VIA KT266A, and soon we have SiS745 to have a head on competition.

SOYO P4S DRAGON Ultra Motherboard Review
With the release of new Pentium 4 processors based on the 0.13 micron "Northwood" cores and the recent price cuts on the existing Pentium 4 processors, i am sure many people will be looking for a good board to go along. Earlier this month, we have published the review on the Northwood processors and the comparison of all the DDR chipsets available in the market for Pentium 4 so take a look at the articles if you happen to miss them.

DFI NB70-SC Motherboard
While presently DFI may not be one of the most popular "DIY" computer manufacturers, they are poised to be. If you haven't heard of DFI there is a good reason for that. DFI's main focus has always been producing the highest quality, best performing OEM and SI products NOT "DIY" products.

FIC VC15 Motherboard
First International Computer (FIC) started life in Taipei back in 1980. Since that time FIC has been trailblazing through the computer electronics world. To date FIC has a total of 4500 employees, 4 supplier hubs, 8 manufacturing sites, and 9 branch offices. FIC is definitely a global computer electronics manufacturer to reckon with.

Shuttle AK35GTR Motherboard
The motherboard world is always changing and adapting, along with the companies driving it. Indeed, it is a constant battle as competitors try to edge each other out of the hallowed winner's circle by earning your trust with some new appeal. Shuttle is one of these companies; in the mix since 1983, they have been developing motherboards for enthusiasts and OEMs alike. Shuttle may not be the biggest motherboard company out there, but that doesn't mean they don't provide quality products and good support.

Dueling i845 DDR Boards From Abit and Asus Abit's BD7-RAID and Asus' P4B266 Take Flight
We're back again with a look at two new motherboards based on Intel's recently released i845D chipset with DDR SDRAM support. Our initial look at the i845D was centered around some fairly standard issue offerings from Intel and DFI. MSI was the only "tweaker's" board that we put to the test in that round-up and it certainly shined heads and tails above the rest. This time around, we have entries from two strong veterans in the "enthusiast/tweaker's" motherboard market, Abit and Asus.

Soyo P4S Dragon Ultra Mainboard
Not long ago we reviewed Soyo’s latest 845 SDRAM mainboard for the Pentium 4, while we didn’t recommend buying a product with SDRAM support for the Pentium 4 we found their P4ISR SDRAM product to be the best solution to get the most from the least. While we were in Las Vegas for CES earlier this month, Soyo provided us with their P4S DRAGON mainboard for testing, this particular board is based on the SIS645 chipset and has quite a few interesting features.

Shuttle AV40R P4X266 Motherboard Review
When Intel released the Pentium 4 processor, it was surrounded by an awful lot of controversy. This was for two main reasons: First, the performance of Intel’s new flagship CPU was less than that of the Pentium III in certain circumstances, not good for a “next-generation” processor. The second was that the only supporting platform (the i850 chipset) required expensive RDRAM to operate. Because Rambus (inventors of RDRAM technology) were viewed in a negative light by many, this impacted on Pentium 4 sales. What could Intel do?
www.tweaktown.com

DFI NB70-SC Motherboard Review
DFI is not a largely known company among enthusiasts. They have had a presence in the OEM market for a while, and are breaking into the enthusiast market only more recently. As some of you may remember, we posted later last year that Scott Thirlwell was leaving a position at Abit and taking on a position at DFI as the Marketing Manager in order to promote the DFI brand name and make sure that things are getting done which will help consumers.

DDR král ASUS P4S333 a srovnání DDR266 vs. DDR333
Snad se na mne nikdo nebude zlobit, že jsem si zcela bezostyšně dovolil pasovat tuhle desku na krále, ale firma ASUS je všeobecně pokládána za uznávanou velmoc mezi výrobci motherboardů a když navíc nabízí produkt podporující v současnosti nejvýkonnější DDR333 paměti je toto přirovnání určitě na místě.

Čipová sada Intel 845G ještě před prázdninami
Čipová sada Intel 845G s integrovanou grafikou bude uvedena v průběhu druhého čtvrtletí roku 2002. Určená je pro procesory Pentium 4 s frekvencí systémové sběrnice 100 a 133 MHz (400 a 533 MHz v režimu QDR), podporuje paměťovou technologii DDR 200/266. Mezi další specifikace patří řadič Ultra ATA100 a maximálně 6 USB 2. 0 portů. Velice důležitá je také možnost připojení grafické karty do AGP slotu, to pokud Vám nestačí integrovaný grafický čip. Fotku south bridge ICH4 naleznete zde.

Jaký má podíl na trhu Intel, AMD a VIA?
Dean McCarron, prezident Mercury Research Company, uvedl několik velmi zajímavých čísel ohledně podílu firem Intel, AMD a VIA na poli procesorů. Vše jsme pro vás uspořádali do (snad) přehledné tabulky. Dozvíte se z ní podíl na trhu procesorů v roce 2000, 2001 a ve čtvrtém čtvrtletí roku 2001 a to jak se započítaným prodejem Pentií III do Xboxů, tak bez něj.

Počítače s dvěma Pentii 4 - nemožné?
Když bylo na konci roku 2000 uvedeno Pentium 4, mnoho lidí bylo zaskočeno absencí podpory pro víceprocesorové uspořádání. Intel tehdy nabídl pro SMP konfigurace procesor Xeon, který je považován za luxusní zboží a je tudíž velmi drahý. Je možné, že by nyní změnil názor?

První redukce pro Pentia 4
A při brouzdání Internetem jsem narazil na ještě jednu velmi zajímavou redukci od PowerLeap. Jmenuje se PL-P4/N a umožní vám dát do desky s paticí Socket 423 použít Socket 478 procesory a to jak s Willamette jádrem, tak s Northwoodem! Pokud jste si koupili systém s Pentium 4 procesorem poměrně brzo (máte tedy desku se Socketem 423) a v budoucnosti plánujete zrychlit procesor, není nutné kupovat hned základní desku i s procesorem, ale stačí jen procesor s redukcí. A to je jistě příznivá zpráva :)
