Advantages: Cheap, great features Disadvantages: you can buy faster
...Soltek are a relatively new company but they are well-designed boards at good prices, they may not be the fastest boards but their reliability and features make up for it. My model is their only Athlon (slot A) board installation was easy, I only referred once to the manual and that was to read the instructions for the free copies of Norton anti virus and Norton Ghost, these two make great additions to the system and ensure that it is working fully.
The board comes with temperatures sensing software which alarms you if there are any potential fault.
Buy this board if you need a cheap board but want it to work well...
