ViaHardware has posted a review on the MSI 694D Pro. The 694D Pro is a dual socket 370 VIA Apollo Pro A based motherboard.



Put simply, the MSI 694D appears to be the only SDRAM based DUAL FC-PGA board worth having as of 09/2000. The Tyan Dual CPU board´d are still Slot 1 based, and don't have the same overclocking flexibility. The Abit BP6 is BX based, forever locking it down to about a 110MHz FSB speed, really designed for Celeron CPUs. The Supermicro's are locked in at 100MHz FSB. Other RDRAM based boards exist but who can afford them? I wouldn't even think of using an 820 or 840 based board with SDRAM, hope you wouldn't either.
