Review: SOYO KT333 DRAGON Ultra Platinum Edition

The board as a whole couldn't fail to impress me. From the colour, to the overclocking to the features, SOYO have outdone themselves as far as their flagship AMD solution goes.

With performance equal to any other KT333 board, it's features and value for money that get a board noticed.

Onboard 6 channel sound from the excellent C-Media 87xx, the onboard Ethernet and RAID, the AGP Pro slot and support for every AMD CPU under the sun makes for an excellent package.

The Sigma box just tops it off. Front USB ports and media readers thrown in too and SOYO have thought of everything as far as AMD solutions go.

Only the price can hinder it and it's currently running for £156 at Chillblast which considering the performance and features is value for money.

This is the best AMD board I've seen to date, top marks to SOYO for this effort. The manual and software bundle are icing on the cake. Upgrading your AMD system or building a new one and you want a bit more than the usual bare ABIT or EPoX effort, buy the SOYO.

Hugely deserving of our Editor's Choice Award!

Nothing, provided you use the onboard features and they are excellent so why not?
