FIC AN19E KT400 Motherboard Review

Layout wise the board is clean, with enough working room around key areas for the average user. The area around the CPU is relatively open, with a gap in the row of capacitors to allow easier access for installing and removing the CPU cooler. The main ATX power connector is easily accessed and faced away from the CPU slot. The RAM is not far from the AGP slot, and if you are using a regular sized AGP card, like an ATI 9700 PRO, you will just be able to add and remove RAM in all 3 DIMM slots. A longer card like the full sized 4600 cards obstructs the 3 slots though. So right now, the Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra is still the only KT400 board with enough clearance to allow RAM access with a full sized video card.
