The SY-K7VTA has
the best performance among all KT133 motherboards so far.
7.5
Price
The price of the
SY-K7VTA is actually lower than the average price of KT133 boards out
there. Considering the facts that Soyo is a relatively well-known brand
and the SY-K7VTA is a high quality board, this is quite a bargain.
7.5
Stability
The SY-K7VTA is
very stable. An average board will crash around 6 to 7 times during
our stability tests, but the SY-K7VTA only crashed 3 times.
8.0
Quality
Soyo products are
usually associated with high quality, and the SY-K7VTA follows that
path. It is probably one of the highest quality Soyo products we have
seen.

Features
Again, the multiplier
ratio settings have become the bestare the most notable feature of the
SY-K7VTA. Besides that, the Fan-Off Control and the Voice Doctor are
still very attractive features in protecting the system. In terms of
software, the 3-in-1 Bonus Pack is really nice for system builders.
And do not forget the extra thermal paste Soyo put in with the board.
7.5
Layout
The overall layout
of the SY-K7VTA is good, but Soyo really has to work on the power supply
connector, which would be best placed on the right edge of the board.
5.0
Availability
You can always find
Soyo products on a lot of on-line stores and local computers stores.
They have also started to appear in large retail stores like CompUSA,
Fry's Electronics, and Microcenter.

Documentation
& Software Bundle
The manual is poor.
Soyo should have included more information in it. On the software end,
the driver CD contains all necessary information for the board, and
the 3-in-1 Bonus Pack is really nice to have.
