It sure is nice to see the overwhelming transition to passive chipset cooling. My patients for noisy, stop-working-after-2-months chipset fans ran out along time ago:) It's going to be interesting to see how well the heat pipe solutions work compared to the old fans.aldamon - Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - link
I'd love to see the $60 ASRock 775Dual-VSTA benched with DDR and DDR2 before I drop $200+ on a "Conroe" overclocking board and another $160 - $260 on DDR2.Thanks in advance AT!

It brings back memories from 1996 !!! best buy was filled with their ugly case and IBM's sliding door cases! lolBloodshedder - Friday, June 16, 2006 - link
I had figured they were long dead. If anything, maybe during that ten years they got their act together.Calin - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
Seeing so many small boards (micro ATX and so), for when some reviews of small mainboards (regarding compatibility, heat from chipset, performance, underclocking and overclocking)?Thanks

Yup that would be nice, it has been a long time since I've seen a that kind of boards on the test lane.Gary Key - Thursday, June 15, 2006 - link
We have several AMD/Intel m-ATX boards coming up for review in July along with the Conroe m-ATX boards in August.

Looks like you will help me decide my birthday present :DThanks
And by the way, could you please please please test onboard video graphic performance (in one or two cases only) with a single DIMM in dual channel boards? And maybe with a Sempron AM2 at 35W (256K cache would be great)?
(Yes, I know I am greedy).
Lots and lots of thanks

On the second MSI page, the last motherboard has this comment:The K9VGM-V leads MSI's entry level products for AMD AM2 by combining the VIA K8M890 and VT8237R+ chipsets. Expect to see this board sell for under US $50 later this month.
The motherboard in question is actually the PT890-Neo F for the Intel platform.

Sorry about that, the file name was cross-linked in the database. It is corrected now.
