VIA Hardware has posted a review on the IWill DVD266-R which is based on the VIA Apollo Pro 266 chipset and brings DDR memory to the SMP world.

The general configuration of the board is nice with the one AGP and six PCI slots. The onboard AMI RAID controller and four memory slots are great additions. I do have a few knocks with the layout, which I hope they change before the final release. The ATX Power connector is in a bad place, forcing the ATX power cord to stretch across the CPUs. Also if you notice the Floppy connector is located below the 6th PCI slot, again blocking air flow.

Overclockers Online has posted a review on the Abit VP6 dual Pentium 3 motherboard.

Since the VP6 has everything an overclocker could ask for, we threw some retail PIII 800E cpu´s in the sockets and tested how far we could push these babies. Both cpu´s were from the same batch, which is preferable if you want 100% stability. Both cpu´s are made in the Philippines. Both cpu´s are SL463 chips, meaning it are both cBo versions with a default voltage of 1.65v.
