I have the DRV2, which is based on the 266a. Overall Soltek is one brand I will buy again and again. It's a decent overclocker: I've pushed my 1500+ to 1800+ speed through FSB alone, and that too with a crap Volcano II hsf. I mean all my hardware is extremely generic, and the Soltek runs smooth as silk with it.

I too am looking to get a new mobo....and the kt333 based boards are looking pretty interesting.....ive found reviews of most of the boards out and some user expereince in various fourms..here is a review of SOLTEK SL-75DRV5 . I personally and leaning toward the ASUS Asus A7V333 review ..but the soltek sounds like a nice cheaper, stable, no frills MoBo too!...here is a link to a fourm thread from the guy who did the soltek review...The threads more about if the kt333 supports Asynchronous or synchronous Mode but he goes into a good discussion about the board and posts some bencheys..He seems pretty impressed with the board....and look at those 3DMark2001 scores!!!!! holy **** batman!!!!.:)

Elder, the 3DMark 2001 scores are mostly dependent on how good your video card is. I have a XP1700+ cpu but have a low end video card and my scores are horrible.

Thats very true maxima88 but even with my ti4600/1.2 gig rig i cant go beyond 7000 or so..but CPU is just slowing me down not to mention my sdr 133a chipset.. but when i finaly get my new kt333 mated(hmmm cyber sex) with my ti4600..ya! its going to be fast ill hit 10000 no probelms with a xp2000+ probably much higher..:)

I want one, not only because my current mobo is crap, but it has just about everything im looking for, and the purple goes with the blue scheme of my computers mods, and the window...blue blue blue (maybe a little purple :D )
