Elitegroup P6BAP-Me / P6BAP-A+ VIA Apollo Pro 133 Socket-370 microATX / ATX
After AnandTech's in depth VIA Apollo Pro 133/133A round-up, we decided to review some of the competitors in detail. Elitegroup, also known as ECS, has been producing motherboards since 1987. They have produced a variety of motherboards, including 4 different Socket-370 Apollo Pro solutions including the Micro-ATX P6BAP-Me and the ATX P6BAP-A+. As with most motherboard manufacturers, ECS has… → Read More
DFI PW65-E i810E ATX
DFI has been a player in the motherboard market for a long time; they have made boards since 1981. According to their web page, they manufacture 200,000 motherboards each month. The newest DFI board to reach us here at AnandTech is the PW65-E -- one of five i810E boards that DFI manufactures. Although past DFI motherboards have not been particularly impressive, read on to see how the PW65-E… → Read More
Shuttle AV64 VIA Apollo Pro 133A
While Shuttle is not one of the big boys in the motherboard industry, they have been around since 1983, making audio cards, video cards and motherboards. Motherboards are a specialty since Shuttle has produced almost every chipset and form factor. Even though AOpen and ASUS constantly manufacture quality products, a big name does not always guarantee the best motherboard in the market. As with… → Read More
Iwill WS133-N i810E Slot-1 ATX
While Iwill has been around since 1989, they first made themselves known with their innovations in the Super7 motherboard market and, more recently, their Slocket II adapter. However, they have produced a rather extensive range of I/O adapters, i440BX boards, and even a few dual processor motherboards. The WS133-N is the newest Iwill motherboard to trickle into the AnandTech labs. Along with the… → Read More
FIC KW15 i810E Slot-1/Socket-370 ATX
FIC has been around since 1980 and has produced some of the lowest priced boards on the market, winning numerous Best Value awards. The i810E chipset is a perfect candidate for FIC to include on their board, because most i810E shoppers are looking for value. Recently, AnandTech recently reviewed FIC's Apollo Pro 133A board, mentioning that most FIC boards have been average and without frills,… → Read More
Supermicro PIIISED ATX Slot-1 i810E
Supermicro has been around since 1992 and has continually produced, solid boards ideal for workstations. Even though Supermicro has focused on high end systems, they have recently begun to enter the low end market. This marketing strategy began with the socket 370 i810 370SWD and now the PIIISED. Intel's new i810E chipset is a perfect candidate to be included on a motherboard designed for a… → Read More
Iwill Slocket II Socket-370 to Slot-1 Adapter
For overclocking fans, Intel's new Pentium III's offer a glut of new options as explained in the FC-PGA overclocking guide part 1 and part 2. However, almost all motherboards that currently support FSB speeds of 133MHz are Slot 1 -- thus the resurgence of the Socket-370 to Slot-1 adapters. AnandTech recently got its hands on Iwill's Slocket II adapter -- one of two from a major manufacturer with… → Read More
Transcend TS-UWH31 microATX i810 Socket 370
Transcend is one of the motherboard companies that has been around for a while but still is not well known in the market. They focus on two different components -- motherboards and memory -- an uncommon combination. While many people might be skeptical of Transcend after the TS-AVD1 review, don't be too quick to write Transcend off. They have made quality products in the past and this board is… → Read More
Soyo SY-6VBA133 Apollo Pro 133 Slot-1 ATX
Soyo is one of the motherboard manufacturers that have been around for a while -- 15 years to be exact. While other manufacturers, such as AOpen and Abit, have been the cutting edge, Soyo has never been far behind. While Soyo's strength lies in the Asian market, in 1998 Soyo expanded to the Silicon Valley to permeate the American market. Following AOpen's AX63 Pro, the SY-6VBA133 is the second… → Read More
Transcend TS-AVD1 VIA Apollo Pro 133 Slot-1 ATX
Transcend is a motherboard company that has been around for a while, but it is still not very well known. They focus on two different components -- motherboards and memory -- an uncommon combination. Transcend claims to put the customer above all, so let's see if this board, the TS-AVD1, is able to meet the consumer demand and be a competitor in the tight motherboard market. The Good The… → Read More
AOpen AX63 Pro Apollo Pro 133 Slot-1 ATX
Ever since Intel gave up sole licensing, VIA has been creeping up and has become a popular competitor. VIA started with the Apollo Pro chipset and then continued on to make a chipset that is pin-compatible to Intel's BX: the Apollo Pro Plus. VIA chipsets used to have some AGP problems, but with the latest drivers, it's much more stable. Now, with the recent entrance of the Apollo Pro 133A, it's… → Read More
Freetech P6F91i Slot-1 i440BX ATX
Flexus Technology, under the Freetech brand name, is a fairly recent entry to the motherboard market. Founded in 1990, we're just now seeing their boards in computers everywhere. In their quest for motherboard excellence, their boards have been making the review rounds, now adding a third stop in the AnandTech labs. While Freetech boards can be hard to find, they are competitive with larger… → Read More
