Features
The Jumperless CPU
configuration and the diagnostic LED’s are definitely a plus for the
motherboard. The extra ISA slot only matters for users with devices
from previous machines. Overall, we do not have anything ground breaking,
but it includes everything that normal users need. Overclockers will
wish for more FSB settings between 100 and 110 MHz, and more importantly,
CPU multiplier control.
5.5
Layout
The overall layout
of the motherboard is decent, except the placement of the power supply
connector between the serial / parallel port and the capacitors. That
may make it hard to connect power when the motherboard is in the case
and can impede airflow.
4.5
Availability
Soyo motherboards
are very easy to get from online stores and most local computer stores.
Even CompUSA has recently started carrying Soyo products.

Documentation
& Software Bundle
The manual has clear
instructions on how to install the board, how to install drivers, and
BIOS details. You can also find the manual on the CD. The 3-in-1 Bonus
Pack is definitely something nice to have.
