As always, the feature table tells us everything we need to know. VIA's PT800 with FastStream64 single-channel memory controller, VT8237 southbridge I/O processor, decent audio, SATA, Ethernet and, well nothing else really.
It's bare, low-cost city with the PT800TWIN with just enough to make it worth a purchase in terms of features. The weak USB support is my biggest gripe. Not all PT800TWINs come with the extra USB2.0 ports on the I/O backplane, so in bare bundle mode you get 2 ports. That's pretty poor. The manual mentions it having four on board and three I/O mounted, but if you can see four in the following shot, let me know. It's two plus five, not four plus three.
Features are definitely not the PT800TWIN's strong point. It's bare and functional but absolutely nothing else.
