SOYO SY-7IZB motherboard - 21/10/99
by: Henrik Jersling

Stability:

I don’t really know why I have this point because if a motherboard isn’t stable they probably don’t release it. Of course I could test stability when overclocking but as I see this as an upgrade board I assume that the people that buy this board isn’t into overclocking. I can tell you anyway even if I don’t find any meaning to it, my computer didn’t crash a single time when I used this board J.

I have the same attitude towards testing performance on this kind of motherboards as all ZX chipset cards have approximately the same performance. That’s why you won’t see any benchmarks on this card.

Conclusion:

I have no information on the price but I guess it will be a bit cheaper than the standard ATX boards. If you own an ATX case I see no reason buying this board. As I see it the AT standard is on the edge of being dead and I don’t see the point in trying to keep it alive because the ATX standard is so much better. If you are going to upgrade your computer and you absolutely want to stick to the AT standard this might be the board for you but if you own an ATX case don’t bother.
