Hey All,

Sorry I didn't post prior about this but I received my Soyo SY-P4RC350 Motherboard on October 25th, 2005 and installed it. I can tell you the board truly demands it's authority to be respected. At least in it's price class. . Managed to overclock my 2GHz P4 w/ 512 L2 Cache to a competitive 2.24GHz. Not much of an overclock, but it does the trick. Also, jumped my Kingston PC2100 512MB RAM Chip up 6MHz! Again, not much, but it also does the trick.

Some "rich" people might frown upon me giving a motherboard in the price range of $200 - $250 such credit. But, for the money it was awesome. I managed to get it off of TigerDirect.com for a cool $55.99 + Shipping (Which it's sold out now).

The ATI Chipset in this board is amazing. I've seen good reviews and bad reviews about the chipset but in my experience with hardware which is a competitive 12 years for only being 24. I'd say the chipset is amongst the best I've seen in it's price class. Got to admire the crazy Northbridge and Southbridge

The on-board (Max to 128MB Shared Memory) ATI Radeon 9100 is crazy. I'm very pleased to say the least. I almost had to fall over when I seen the on-board sound and on-board Gigabit LAN.

Anywho, not to waste any more of anyones time. Just recommending the Soyo SY-P4RC350 since it's an awesome Motherboard for the price. )
