GamePC has posted a review on the Iwill KK266R KT-133A motherboard.



DDR memory technology is having a hard time ramping up into a formidable commercial challenge, whether it be due to signal integrity issues delaying motherboards or due to the lack of a long-term DDR chipset solution. DDR chipsets, while they´re here in the form of the AMD 760 and ALi MaGiK chipsets, aren´t showing the performance gains that everyone expected from DDR. It seems many motherboard makers may be waiting for VIA´s upcoming Apollo KT266 chipset before switching DDR into high gear. Until then, many motherboard makers are relying on the tried-and-true SDRAM based solutions like VIA´s KT-133A.

While it´s not the first KT-133A motherboard on the market, IWill´s KK266 has been generating a fair amount of noise lately from end users who having been praising the quality and performance of IWill´s board. In the past, IWill boards have never really caught out attention, as they usually had generic board layouts and average perforance, so we were very interested to see what IWill has been doing to turn their board business around and cater to the performance user. Of course, when IWill offered to send us over a board to see for ourselves, we were happy to oblige.
