WooHoo
Thanks, I have been waiting patiently, price is GREAT - with raid, all the tweaks -including V core processor to 2.3 volts :Q
Thanks dew042
 
Only thing is the NEW Kt333 chipset will be out shortly, but if you can't wait, this looks to be a great board. And the onboard sound is very good chip
 
Hmmm, looks like this will be my new MB for my upgrade to DDR/AMD XP. I'll wait for Newegg, just because I have to wait a week for my tax refund anyway. Or maybe not...are mwave and newegg the same company, or did the same company design their sites? They are identical in their layout.

via seem to have trouble with chipsets that don't end in "a" lately. 😀

Mwave is a superior shop with great customer service.
A number of years ago I fried a MB and processor from them, and they were replaced with an RMA that they cross-shipped w/o any hassle at all . . . it was as easy as being in college and asking my mom to send me cookies.
 
Just for anyone wondering I calculated my shipping and it was $8.63 for ground (5-6 bus. days)
$11.94 for 3 bus. days and $26.47 for overnight.

That was to WA. state.
 


<< are mwave and newegg the same company, or did the same company design their sites? They are identical in their layout. >>



LOL Seriously... it looks exactly the same as newegg's website. i think newegg's prices are just a little cheaper though... from the 3 or 4 products i looked at.
 
Can't find any real reviews on this motherboard. I had the Iwill XP333-R, and was going to get the Abit KR7A-Raid, but this board, from Shuttle's claims, is faster that the KR7A-R. I'm hoping that I can utilize my two ATA133 drives under raid, and also upgrade from my PC2700 DDR333, to the new PC3000 DDR366. Any body know where I can get some independent reviews on this board???
 
I found the short review on anandtech, and it seems this board just isn't all that great compared to Abit's KR7A-R and Iwill's XP333-R. So I guess I'm going to test out the Abit KR7A-R for my next project. Anyhow, this board does have 4 DIMM slots and 6 PCI slots, which in number is better than the XP333-R which only has 3 DIMM and 5 PCI. The KR7A-R has 4 DIMMz and 6 PCIz, but seems to be better in many aspects. Shuttle's depiction of the AK35GTR smoking the KR7A-R with some benchmarks, and graphs, does kinda make me scratch my head.
 
There is a january aticle that is on the front page at anandtech.com.....The shuttle had a place in the top 3 if I remember corectly. The KR7A was one also. The iwill didnt make it, but got mentioned as a great OCer. I just looked...EPOX was the other.

well the price tag on the ak35gtr is $115 (likely to end up near $100). that's some good bang for the buck! the kr7a raid is around $150.

they both have raid. the kr7a raid is a bit more tweakable and gets a higher fsb. but the ak35 has a good cmi audio chip, and the ability to do a vcore of 2.3v which the kr7a does not. performance wise they are statically identical. i don't see 2-3% in favor of either one making abig difference in our lives 😉

reviews:

head to head with the kr7a raid at legion hardware.

that should keep you busy 😉 its hard to declare a winner among those two. the kr7a raid and the ak35gtr appear to be superb boards in their own right.

good luck.

Here's a review I didn't see listed above: Active hardware:
 
Add in the lower price and a great on-board sound card and I would go with the shuttle.

And with a good Bios update the shuttle should be as good or better than the Abit.

Quick Summary
Well, what do you know. Shuttle impresses once again with the AK35 being the fastest board to enter t-break labs. If you're really thinking of getting something for yourself for the holiday season, get this motherboard with an Athlon XP 1900. You'll be fastest kid on the block- hell, forget the block, you'll be the envy of the entire city! Over the weekend, we're gonna put an Athlon XP 1800 with a GeForce 3 Ti 500 card on the Shuttle AK35 and overclock them to the extreme. Come back to see the numbers. I'm sure you wont be disappointed 😉
The Report Card

Layout: The capacitor between the memory slots and the CPU socket should be moved as it will cause problems with certain heatsinks. Also, the power connector would be better off below the CPU socket as its current position above the CPU blocks airflow because of the thick power cable. 7/10

Features: The High Point 372 controller with ATA-133 support is a good welcome and we've always liked Shuttle's jumperless board. Onboard audio is also pretty decent and BIOS gives you almost all the options to tweak your system. Maybe Shuttle should look into adding some diagnostic or Dual BIOS options in their future boards. 13/15
Stability/Compatibility: No problems with the Shuttle AK35 whatsoever in this department. It managed to run flawlessly with all the hardware we threw at it which is pretty good considering the board has four memory sockets- something most motherboard manufacturers shy away from. 20/20
Performance: Say hello to the new king of performance at t-break labs: The AK35 is the fastest board we've ever seen- faster than nVidia's nForce chipset based MSI K7N420 in both gaming as well as business benchmarks. What more do you need to know? 24/25
Overclocking: What can we say- the AK35 managed to push our CPU to new heights. It's got Multiplier adjustments, FSB settings between 133MHz to 200MHz, and DDR voltage adjustment, but the icing on the cake is CPU VCore adjustment upto 2.3V- and it works! About the only thing missing is AGP Voltage. 14/15
Price/Packaging: The pricing is pretty good, just like all Shuttle boards but we do wish that Shuttle changes its future packaging as the subtle box doesn't exactly give the look of a power board. 12/15
Overall experience of reviewer: I think Abit is the best at producing fastest boards that can be taken even faster with their overclocking options. But the speed at which Shuttle is going, I don't think Abit will be able to hold the top position for a very long time. Love this board. +5


Final Score
95/100






 
so, has my head REALLY been in a hole (hot deals) so long that I didn't know there was 333mhz ram outnow? WHAT ON EARTH did I miss? 😀 I thought I was mister uptodate! WOW! so...where do I get a good price on this 333mhz ram? will my 128mb ram werk w/ it? wow... so many new possibilities! 😀

Now the only thing NOT as fast as my processor is the PCI bus itself! 😀


I think that should be my new sig... 😀

God Bless
