After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Soyo K7V Dragon Motherboard Review

Author: Dennis Garcia

Additional Features

By far the thing that makes this board special is what all is included in the package with a little twist added here and there for excitement. For instance Soyo was nice and provided an AGP Pro slot, which is quite nice though with the vast array of AGP Pro video cards around I doubt we will get to use it very often. Now as for the twist Soyo provided purple PCI slots, this color complements the black PCB quite nicely.

The other board features include onboard sound and Promise Raid. I'm just going to point them out in case you haven't seen them before. It should be noted that the audio chip that Soyo used is the same audio processor that Freeway used on the FWD-A7KA and FWD-CUPA motherboards.
