Earlier news here ======================================= 01/19/03 - Shuttle AK37GTR KT400 board review The king of barebones Shuttle has also a lovely little KT400 motherboard with onboard 6 channel sound, S/PDIF, RAID, SATA, LAN and more. Thor's Hardware from Germany just tested the board and was very much impressed with the overclocking potential and the overall features. Read it here and enjoy more reviews links here ======================================= 01/19/03 - MSI K7D Master L 760-MPX board review Interesting story of the website owner who, fed up of his host, decided to set up his own server with a dual processor motherboard from MSI, two Athlon MP 1.2GHz, 1GB registered ECC PC2100 from Corsair, two SCSI IBM drives for datas and one IDE for the boot. The server is now up and running and the owner is happy: "Overall I am going to give this motherboard a 10/10 and award it the OCModShop Seal of Approval". Read the fairy tale here and look at our Special here for more... ======================================= 01/19/03 - Asus A7N8X nForce2 vs. A7V8X KT400 Putting the two Asus' stars in the same bath is a great idea and Legion Hardware had it a few days ago. Today, Psy found at addaboy, the 'Ultimate Battle' where the beauties are meeting again and the conclusion isn't really going to please KT400 lovers: "The Nforce chipset has given the A7N8X faster boot times, faster installation times, faster when opening programs, faster at almost every aspect. Beside the A7V8X having the extra Raid controller the Nforce board stomps the VIA board a new mud hole!". More A7N8X here and A7V8X here ======================================= 01/18/03 - FIC AU11 nForce2 motherboard review We didn't ear much about FIC during the past month and the company is coming back with a pretty good motherboard with sober look but great performance. PC stats here is first to test the greeny baby and here is a snip of the conclusion: "I knew that the FIC AU11 would be a good performer, but I didn't know it would be that good! As you can clearly see by the benchmarks we've shown you, the FIC AU11 is not just an extremely fast motherboard, it's also a good overclocker as well!". ======================================= 01/18/03 - MSI K7N2 nForce2 motherboard review K7N2 (MS-6570) uses the Nforce 2 SPP (System Platform Processor) North bridge, and the MCP2 South Bridge with no integrated graphics core. The MCP used lacks some of the advanced audio features such as on the fly Dolby Digital encoding that Nvidia has been pimping for their MCP-T. (The MCP-T also adds IEEE-1394a/FireWire support). Neoseeker has more about this board in a very instructive review you may find here. More MSI K7N2 reviews also in our Special here ======================================= 01/17/03 - MSI KT4 Ultra BSR KT400 board review Many version of KT4 are already in store, and here is the detail of each model.

Barton FSB 333 is coming in Q1 at 3 different ratings: 2500+ 2800+ & 3000+. Thoroughbred is kept for the whole year with two different FSB's (266 & 333 how confusing!).
