Soyo K7VTA Pro Motherboard Review
We're seeing alot of very nice offerings around VIA's KT133a chipset, and the
Soyo K7VTA-Pro is no exception here. While lacking only a few niceities, the
board overall comes across very well presented. The performance is extremely
good, with good solid HDD performance and memory performance. Overclocking
features are their, with the exception of VIO voltage tweaks. The lack of a 6th
PCI slot, the location of the ATX power connector, and the lack of BIOS
multiplier adjustments are our only nitpicks.
It's a good time to be an AMD fan right now, and I feel Soyo's K7VTA-Pro goes a
long way towards continuing this phenomenon! :)
PROS
- Solid Overclocking options
- Stable performance
- Excellent memory performance
- Very good board layout overall
CONS
- lack of VIO voltage adjustments
- 5PCI/1ISA. Ditch the ISA already
- location of the ATX power connector could be better.
