To the Max

Advantages: Cheap and lots of features
Disadvantages: average overclocking ability

...The AOpen AK77-600 Max has a unique feature of having double bios chips, specially these days when virus attacks are common these days. With having twin bios, the second bios can store a good bios version that can be used when the first bios other one fails. It is also bundled with a Norton virus 2003, s very helpful software which can protect you from e-mail worms and viruses. This board has via kt600 chipset instead of an nforce 2. The motherboard has a little heat sink at the middle which helps to avoid overheating. All the headers of this motherboard are place on the near bottom of the motherboard. The USB 2.0 header s located at the second third PCI slots. A total of 6 USB ports are located at the back panel of this board. There is also a printer port and 2 ps/2 ports.

Review of AOpen AK77-600 Max - motherboard - ATX - KT600

What KT did next

Advantages: solid performer
Disadvantages: outperformed by Nforce2 boards

...Time to upgrade my PC in order to play Doom3...sad isn't it. I knew I wanted a mobo that supports AMD XP cpu as I wanted to keep my XP1600+ cpu a couple of more months before upgrading that. Plenty of choice and plenty of reviews about competing boards and technologies. For various reasons I decided that, for me, a board based on the latest Via KT600 chipset would be better than an Nforce2 board, despite the Nforce2 boards having slightly better performance. I also wanted a budget board (<£70). Reading various reviews from hardware websites that I trust the choice came down to the MSI KT6 Delta. To be honest, with built in lan, sata, and raid it has too many goodies for my needs. But they are good to have for the future. The board arrived well packaged with an instruction manual, a large picture pointing out the mobo components...

Review of MSI KT6 Delta-FISR - motherboard - ATX - KT600

Nice Motherboard

Advantages: Very stable
Disadvantages: none

...Gigabyte has recently released the Athlon XP based 7VT600P-RZ motherboard powered by via kt600 chipset. This motherboard will support any Athlon XP and Duron processors with a front side bus speed of 200 MHz up to 400 MHz. There are 3 DIMM slots each having a memory capacity of up to 3 gigabytes the compatible DIMM for this kind of motherboards are PC 2100, 2700, 3200. There is also no need to buy a separate soundcard because the mobo has onboard soundcard. There are five PCI slots for future add-ons along with 8 USB ports and 2 SATA headers. The CPU socket is flanked by tall capacitors, making it hard to install the CPU heatsink. When it comes to overclocking the Athlon XP 3200+, this motherboard has just able to up the FSB to 210 mhz mark. The AGP slot is quite high on the motherboard, you to remove the video card to be able to...

Review of Gigabyte GA-7VT600-L - motherboard - ATX - KT600

Will give your AGP system a new lease of life

Advantages: Very fast, AGP
Disadvantages: Very expensive, power-hungry

...At time of writing this is the fastest AGP graphics card you can buy (though it may be soon overshadowed by the ATI X1950Pro). As the first reviewer stated, it makes an incredible difference to games and makes advanced options like High Dynamic Range, Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering possible where before I had them turned off (I also have a 5950 Ultra). I *did* have problems with 3D titles not working on my Asus KT-600 a while after I first got it. I contacted Gainward and they weren't particularly quick in replying though I believe they were correct in identifying the Power Supply as being insufficient (though why the card should work for 3 months before encountering problems was never explained). Thankfully I managed to install it in another PC with a 550W PSU and have experienced no problems with that one (Asrock KT-880...
