Well, I would like to tell you about one more announcement of a mainboard based on the not yet lunched VIA KT400 chipset, which will hardly surprise anyone now. This is about Iwill. The new Socket A mainboard from Iwill is called KK400. Here are some of the specs for you:

• Socket A AMD Duron, Athlon, Athlon XP with 200MHz/266MHz;
• VIA KT400 chipset with VIA VT8235;
• 3 DIMM slots for up to 3GB DDR400/DDR333/DDR266/DDR200 SDRAM;
• AGP 8x;
• 5 PCI slots;

• 1 SerialATA-150 channel (by KK400-S, KK400-RS);

The mainboard allows adjusting the FSB frequency between 100 and 200MHz, and increasing the Vcore. Also the board allows connecting a special FI-panel to it. This panel fits into the 5-inch bay and features audio connectors, USB ports and Smart Card Reader.
