Iwill

Iwill is one of the leading server motherboard manufacturers and was displaying just about every conceivable combination of chipsets and board designs imaginable.





The DF88 series of products features the NVIDIA nForce4 2200 Pro series chipset.





The DPK66 series features the Intel 5000X MCH and ESB2 ICH.



Here's the H8503 CPU board that features full support for DDR2 memory now.



The H2106 1U Rackmount server features the Intel 5000X with dual CPU support, PCI-E X16 slot, and 16 DIMM sockets stocked full of FB-DIMMs.



Their S2224 2U SAS storage server also uses the Intel 5000X with dual CPU support, and it has a PCI-E X8 slot, two PCI-X 64bit/133MHz slots, and room for 24 SAS hard drives.





And here are a couple of random shots of the AMD Opteron Rackmount server solution from Iwill, with eight CPU sockets.

    It sure is nice to see the overwhelming transition to passive chipset cooling. My patients for noisy, stop-working-after-2-months chipset fans ran out along time ago:) It's going to be interesting to see how well the heat pipe solutions work compared to the old fans.

    I'd love to see the $60 ASRock 775Dual-VSTA benched with DDR and DDR2 before I drop $200+ on a "Conroe" overclocking board and another $160 - $260 on DDR2.

    Thanks in advance AT!

    It brings back memories from 1996 !!! best buy was filled with their ugly case and IBM's sliding door cases! lol

    I had figured they were long dead. If anything, maybe during that ten years they got their act together.

    Seeing so many small boards (micro ATX and so), for when some reviews of small mainboards (regarding compatibility, heat from chipset, performance, underclocking and overclocking)?

    Thanks

    Yup that would be nice, it has been a long time since I've seen a that kind of boards on the test lane.

    We have several AMD/Intel m-ATX boards coming up for review in July along with the Conroe m-ATX boards in August.

    Looks like you will help me decide my birthday present :D
    Thanks

    And by the way, could you please please please test onboard video graphic performance (in one or two cases only) with a single DIMM in dual channel boards? And maybe with a Sempron AM2 at 35W (256K cache would be great)?

    (Yes, I know I am greedy).

    Lots and lots of thanks

    On the second MSI page, the last motherboard has this comment:
    The K9VGM-V leads MSI's entry level products for AMD AM2 by combining the VIA K8M890 and VT8237R+ chipsets. Expect to see this board sell for under US $50 later this month.

    The motherboard in question is actually the PT890-Neo F for the Intel platform.

    Sorry about that, the file name was cross-linked in the database. It is corrected now.
