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

    Soltek SL-75FRV is really an amazing motherboard built around the VIA KT400 chipset. This board still features the Purple Ray PCB, RedStorm Overclocking and a host of chipset features including DDR400.

    You have 3 choices when it comes to DDR enabled chipsets for the P4. Intel, SiS, and VIA. In compairson the Intel i845 doesn't look to be that impressive but from a performance standpoint we have just the opposite. The Soltek SL-85DR-C takes advantage of this and even provides a means for further tweaking and overclocking.

    Published: Sunday, March 3, 2002 - Cases Antec SX635 Case Review - A Case Modders Perspective
