VIA Hardware has posted a review on Iwill's DVD266u-RN dual CPU motherboard.



Last time we looked at this board it was a preview of a pre-production model which actually we liked very much. This preview article has been updated as we take a look at a retail board that Iwill has sent us. If you have already read the preview, you may want to skip ahead to the benchmarks since the bulk of the information is the same. There have been no layout changes or much of anything else changed. There were some components removed on the retail board to allow the LAN chip more power, which it needed and was the cause of the flaky LAN operations with the pre-production board. The main point of this article is to follow up on what we already know, to see if Iwill fixed the LAN problem, and to see if Iwill managed to squeeze out any more performance form this board. So read on to find out the details of the board, or go right to the benchmarks if you are already familiar with the board.
