SOYO - Soyo CK8 Dragon Plus nForce3 150 Motherboard Review

June 16th 2004 | Hardware

Today, DMOS looks at the reasonably priced Soyo CK8 Dragon Plus. The good: no gimmicky add-ons, excellent board layout, and solid multimedia and math performance. The bad: nothing to set it apart from the crowd, weak overclocking, and an overworked PCI bus. The low-down: if you’re looking for a reliable, moderately priced setup, then this is certainly an option.

..While the nForce3 250 based boards are now starting to show up, unless you are an overclocker willing to deal with the difficulties involved in getting a Hammer solidly OC’d, the now much cheaper nForce3 150 motherboards (like the CK8 here) should allow less pricey entry into the A64 universe. If you are looking for more features integrated into the chipset, or massive overclocking, definitely look to pick up a newer board. If you are looking for a reliable, cheap(er) setup, I can recommend the Soyo CK8 Dragon Plus.
