Hi folks,

it's nearly 1 month now since I first read a review of the Soltek NV400-64 motherboard based on the nForce2 400 on this page: http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=244

Well, I expected this to cause a "major uproar" cause this sweet lil board manages to outperform the ASUS A7N8X V2.0 based on the 400 Ultra chipset in almost every benchmark. Even Sandra's memory bench was in favor of the Soltek board. Remember the nForce2 400 uses a single channel memory controller only. But unfortunately this article seems to have fallen into oblivion, so I wanted to remind you of this. Why is there so little reviews out there of other motherboards based on the 400 "nu" (non Ultra)? I think there quite some boards on the market but reviews like this one are rare. I'd be very interested in boards from other manufacturers, cause Soltek is neither available in Germany nor did I ever consider buying this brand. It'd be cool to have some ASUS or EPoX mobo based on the 400nu northbridge combined with the MCP-T and some other nice features. If the performance of other boards is equally good maybe NV should rename this northbridge "nForce2 400 Uber Ultra" or something like that, hehe. I just don't understand why it's so much faster than VIA's or SiS' single channel solutions, not talking bout the embarrassment for NV itself and it's dual channel controller.

ANYWAY: I want some more reviews and I want it NOW!!!!
