Transcend TS-UWH31 microATX i810 Socket 370

The Test

In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you shouldn't base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

The Final Decision

After the TS-AVD1, it was difficult to believe in the strength of Transcend boards. However, Transcend showed once again that they can produce a high quality competitor. Transcend has once again proven that smaller names in the industry can produce quality and competitive products. If you are looking for a motherboard chock full of overclocking options to get maximum FPS in Quake III, the i810 chipset is not the best choice. However, if the goal is building a low-priced microATX system, the Transcend TS-UWH31 is a good match. The board's stability made it clear that it is a reliable competitor in the market.

As mentioned in previous reviews, for companies like Transcend to become readily available from a variety of vendors, they really need to make a name for themselves in the market. To do so, they need to develop something unique which would appeal to a variety of users . Having excellent stability, high build quality, and no major issues alone might not be enough in this extremely competitive market.
