Computex 2003 - Athlon64 Motherboards Likely Delayed - PCSTATS
While plenty of Athlon64 motherboards were on display, many are unlikely to hit store shelves until late in 2003, when A64 chip supplies improve.

MSI and Soltek Motherboards

MSI K8D-1U: This pure-bread 1U server board is a departure from the ATX severboards MSI had on display at Computex 2003 in Taipei. The K8D-1U is based on the AMD 8131 and 8111 chipsets, and includes onboard graphics care of an ATI Rage XL (8MB memory) chip. The board supports up to two socket 940 Opteron processors and 12GB of Registered DDR. Along with two PCI-X slots, we find a MiniPCI port, twin GbE LAN jacks, ATA133, USB2.0 and single channel U320 SCSI.

Soltek SL-K8MAV-R: Based on the VIA K8M800 and VT8237 southbridge, the K8MAV-R from Soltek includes onboard graphics care of the K8M800 VIA chipset. The socket 754 Athlon64 board operates at 800MHz FSB, and includes AGP8X, DDR400 support, USB2.0, 6 channel audio, ATA133, 10/100 LAN and Serial ATA RAID among its list of features.

Soltek SL-K8AN-RL: The K8AN-RL is the only Soltek socket 754 Athlon64 motherboard built with the nvidia NF3 150 chipset. Considering that there are three versions with various chipsets from VIA, this is somewhat interesting. Perhaps manufactures are flocking to VIA because of the K8T800's performance gains, or simply because the chipset costs less? In any case the board features the CrushK8 chipset which brings a long list of common features to the table for socket 754 Athlon64 processors. The goodies include AGP8X, dual channel DDR400, USB2.0, 6 channel audio, 10/100 LAN, ATA133 and Serial ATA RAID.
