January 6, 2003 Following the success of the P4X400 DRAGON Ultra (Platinum Edition) that was recently awarded the Motherboard of the Year award by Computer Shopping Magazine, SOYO's AMD offering, the KT400 DRAGON Ultra (Platinum Edition) continued the slew of awards taken home. Recently the editor at Explosive Labs took a close look at several KT400 chipsed based solutions. "As you can see in the above results the Soyo KT400 motherboard provides better results in the benchmarks. The SPECviewperf benchmark stresses and utilizes memory bandwidth to calculate results. Since the Soyo KT400 motherboard BIOS has the most DRAM configurations there is no surprise why it comes on top and the Albatron follows the rest... Once again the Soyo KT400 Ultra Platinum comes on top in all of the gaming benchmarks." Source from: www.soyousa.com "I'm jazzed about the new mini-iTX motherboards developed by VIA Technologies": January 17, 2003 John Dvork from PC Magazine tells us how he hooked up an old HDD with Win95 pre-installed on a VIA EPIA M-series mainboard and built himself a cheap PC "I'm convinced such homemade boxes will be the big story in 2003, because people can use them to upgrade inexpensively. You can even configure the motherboard to transform your PC into an AV box: Just drop in a DVD drive, configure the audio chip to deliver Dolby 5.1 sound, and turn on the S-Video output."

Throw in GPS and Internet connectivity features and you get the HTPCWorks Toba Series Media Center. To make the Toba a reality they needed a platform with high quality digital media playback, PC functionality and striking design values that were robust enough to go the distance.
